lyrics

In arms of a willow
Please speak to me
I hear you calling
Calling for me
Sing from the
Shrill cicadas song or the
Drum of the ground
Held within hanging weeds
Keeping warm in the sound
I will welcome your arms over me
Your arms over me
Sway me to sleep

Wake alone.
But you’re reaching out
Take me – I’m coming home
Your long boughs blooming
And clutching my throat
Receive me naked please blanket your own.

You can’t let me go
I need your warm and flooding flume
Into sweet arbor, my black water womb

In arms of a willow
Offer me sleep
These arms won’t save you
Quietly feed.
Please can you
Swaddle hallowed screams
I am draped in the bark
Held within hanging weeds
Keeping warm in the dark.
Your stolen voice echoes through me

These small, small
These small lungs need to breathe
I, I
I’m nothing, I’m a weed
All, all,
All I want is release
We’re all, we’re all
We’re all foundlings in the eaves

Violent sleep at my back
See my breath is turning black
I’m alone and I’m cold in the dark
Nursing fetters underneath
Here to feast on my defeat
Come glut yourself, take all you can mar
Heal myself if I throw
Deracinations of my throat
From crowded lungs, and on honest call
I will shiver I will spit
I am a worthless little shit
I am standing here, purging it all

But no I won’t fall
Into
Your arms
But it won’t be enough
But it won’t be enough
But it won’t be enough
