lyrics

Three mice I buried
I dug their shallow graves with spoons
The worms and cats have found them all by now
Three different parks I found magnolia trees in bloom
Three tiny corpses and an empty room
Now say this fragile body
Should become a hollow pocket
Put garlic roses in my mouth and crush my neck with stones
We crack we crack these vessels
We crack we crack these vessels
It’s worth my life to shine light on the bones
Light on the bones
The alligator sighs
Rolling marbles in his eyes
And he clicks and flicks his tongue against the dying of the sun
When he speaks his teeth are human
Milky stalks of starkest luminosity
Which fills the room in
Deeper shades of white albumen
And the crocodile is preening
For his warty claws are sheening
Though the warm-furred cubs are keening
For some meat with prostrate meaning
We are hollow son and daughter
We are coal and blood and water
We are heated limbs to cauterize
Each other for the slaughter
We are hollow son and daughter
We are coal and blood and water
We are heated limbs to cauterize
Each other for the slaughter
Three hearts suspended
In the viscous liquid of the tomb
Still moving slowly in the deepest ground
See how the tiny faces in the darkness loom
See how the roots grow and the branches bloom
