lyrics

she decorates her walls with magazine pages
five hundred feet tall but still sleeping in cages
& I always called her wrong to deliver on my words
with one hand on her tongue and the other with birds
the grass was made of butterflies that flew away into her eyes
forgiving her for her transgressions eating her alive

I want rain in the summer time
snow when it’s cold
I won’t forget the times we said
(you’d ask me why & I’d reply)
I hate everyone that I know

the Princess of Strangers in nativity scenes raging
describing the dangers & the sound of bottles breaking
& she found the fire first and licked the fire to taste
her anger as it burned and left its finger on her face
the riverwater’s filled with trash that forks like lightning down her back
forgiving her for her transgressions feeding through the gash
