lyrics

At eight, the muscles finally give way.
Drink twelve, I’m at the mouth of the cave.
Come with me, we’ll see just what has been
hollowed out of us.
We’ll give up words, make our noise
unto the dirt, release our gasps
unto the vaulted stone.

And all the bears that love to scrape your heart
will be gone by then.
And all the bears that love to scrape your heart
will be dead by then.

Sugar, I’m not in the hospital, I’m in the cave.
It was just too bright there, and everyone
was just too nice to me.
And I would rather your drawings of horses
be charcoaled on the wall of me.
And I would rather my red palm prints
be way up on the wall of you.
We’ll scent your skin with mandarin.
We’ll braid your hair.
So when morning light calls you back to him,
he won’t be able to tell that you slept there.

And all the bears that love to scrape your heart
are dead by now.
And all their skulls are calcified
and beautiful. And I will love you
in this privacy. I will love you
from this privacy.
