lyrics

And there's my little one, alive in front of me
At last the candle does its dance upon her cheek
Half an urge to bloom now, I neglect the early signs
A conscience closing undetected, ill-defined

They told me I was born on the first day of January
Nothing came before
They tell me I was warm
But it's winter and I'm wilting now
Like I was such a flower before
A flower before
Where were you on the night…?
In a new light

I chase the cruelty of my sons to the bridge and back
My dreams undone
I am not the dark, I am the midnight
Little mouse, come out now
Come alive in front of me

Grant me amnesia, strip me of my crows
You'll find forgiveness in the ash of my woes
Don't spread your bitterness across my grin
I've no suggestion for the reeling within
Don't interrupt me while I'm pissing on the poor
Because I'm not concerned, not anymore

I've grown pockets where I once had seams
Shoulders where I kept my wings
Bile where I tasted cream
And how I yearn to be your husband in this sickness
A brother to the ruthless
But I am the prince of my own poisonous gifts
And how they've kept it all alive in front of me
