lyrics

IT IS LOUD

we could wake up
cold white cattle egrets
locked in the grass
so we say we see it's heart

damply sometimes in my mind
your body is a banging door
a formal god
a grave in a lock jaw
what's a picture of the dead to us for

I want to lie awake let your thoughts make
a lover of a lonely muscle
I want to lie awake return to shape
hold my nature
do not break

come before the bridge yawns shut
here is a stem of worth I've cut
but there are complete shadows
deeply forking chords from our throats

it is loud
it is loud
it is loud
it is loud

our Jonquil eyes are ripe and warm and glued
we are sucking on the sticks of our farm with slow wounds
trying to build a boat
jangled by lust
dislocated
what the night does to us

I want to feel your scruples break
lover of a dislodging snake
I want to lie awake let your thoughts take
hold of my nature
what you do not face

we could wake up
from holding battles face up
but there are complete unknowns
long and suggestive so you know

you are allowed
you are allowed
you are allowed
you are allowed
you are allowed
you are allowed
