lyrics

God damn my blood runs red
But I cannot obey
Of brick and mortar
They build me up
Give me shape

The sphinx contends
You've always been
A pretty tall glass of water
Rose like the tidal daughter
And played to my strengths
But I have seen these oceans end
In abalone tangents

The only witness to this holy conversation
Has left the stage
Just cleared the frame
He speaks so slowly
We peaked so low
Might not matter if he knows

Who goes with when you move on?
Thus spake all your vagabonds
This obligatory pawn
Need never wonder why
The shell informs a lone reply
With hungry heart and serpent sigh

The only witness to this holy conversation…
His hands are tied
His tongue is dry
His lips are cold

This little oyster world of mine
Sinks into the turpentine
To withhold its pearled divine
