lyrics

Eucharia, I’ve got a Eucharis for you.
Tragedy doth call for me. Contrition's sins breed thicker ink.
So, Fénelon, feed your dolphin
a shame to kick the child away.
Intrude upon the drain.
As if you're cookin' with a cleaver,
caress your curse's savior.

Lately my eye's been twitchin'. It hardly sits patrician.
Pray scales to pry it open and, in affront, please promotion.
So, acrobats, invade my organs!
Push and pulse in a canopy of cancers
to liquefy the answers
to a riddle thought simple and light.
The ease becomes the fight.

How does a seeded bed know if it's lifting up?
In poems left unread I paint the pale upon my pinkness.
So, universe, leave me useless,
ignorant of the increments i'm shiftin'.
Deplete the clouds their rift!
The looseness of the layers does my bidding, but
the lines are not my own.

Should I be comfortable in my corroding car?
Should the dynamite be bringin’ this bridge warmth?
Oh, cavalry, bore me brightly!
I'm taking the fortune with a fuck you.
I'm leasing the lift.
I'm succeeding prayers with profit.
I've furnished my tragic flaw.

I'm drawing the curtains,
told you I'd be a while.
I'm leaving the lights off,
told you I'd be a while.
I’m airing your boots out,
told you I'd be a while.
I'm running to you now,
told you I'd be a while.

So cringe with me, cousin!
Sigh with me, sister!
Dirge with me, baby!

Does it start when I'm succumbing?
Does it end when I'm attracting?
Is it all in the middle?
Is it all in the middle?
