lyrics

Calling and conjuring
She wears cape of green wool
Words and circumstance,
you are witch and you are wicked
You have head of stolen gold

But do not cut these plaits from me
My raft is not your sediment
and the ocean's not the sentiment
I'd like to be immersed in

Oh and you may keep a beat
beating driftwood to my bones
and you may steal my voice
and fill these lungs with smoke
but you and I are not the same
though we share the same bed
You wear furs cause you have skinned them
and dyed them red

Oh lonely taxidermist,
won't you stuff this heart with straw
cause it has passed and it is cold
It has not loved since him I'm told

Oh these little words
that I've been singing
aren't reaching depth or anyone
and I'm afraid I've not been feeling
things in their truest spectrum

The truest words that I could write,
I'm afraid I cannot love
Im afraid I wont be loved
I feel ugly and worn down.
