lyrics

drag your mattress to the field dream of mice and leave the kettle on nocturnals in the trees all black and hungry fresh blood on our palms teeth like seed husks on the ground in the shadow of our estates starving body broken rinds and hairless bones and by the morn i’ll be nothing more than the echo of cannon fire from a century old war just applied heat and kettle steam a shrieking substance evaporating violently and the first day of my life went exactly as planned they sang go, go and the last day of my life went exactly as planned they plead come home, come home and my heart was a picture of a house by a harbor and your heart was a statue in a garden carved from coral and my heart was a small silver flip calendar and your heart was a bookshelf with the epilogues all torn and a paperback copy of 1984 and my heart was a portrait of my grandfather when he was 18 in the army in the second world war and your heart was a damp plain in the rear view mirror and my heart was the interstate passing the adjar passenger door
