yellow grain waving no surrender
in the onslaught of another storm
we will bend again, again & again
but never level to the ground
why should we rest in pieces
we demand to live in peace
we are not asking
the bear must turn & leave
we are not afraid
you try to raze us down
still we dare to stand
it’s you who are afraid now

the zenith of lilith
you placed your foot upon my shadow
resolutely stopped me leaving
so i’m asking why you won’t let me kiss you
every time you petal your thighs
all the angels commit suicide
a field of red puff shudderings
as far as the eye can see
you placed your foot upon my shadow
resolutely stopped me leaving
so i’m asking why you won’t let me know you
and whenever you peddle your lies
all the demons almost believe you
but i didn’t make it rain this time
so you cannot blame me
you placed your foot upon my shadow
resolutely stopped me breathing
so step off, bitch

if theirs was the path not followed
then how could we have ever known
of their hopes veiled, atwist in shame
yet now we know
departing eden saved our lives
from the tyrant we thought we knew
meta alpha spitting swords of flame
pious choirs cleaved to the throne
he churned their psalms into a voice of ruin
his shadow sloped through every heartland
so now we know
that whenever he swore to bury us
each variance of will collapsed their brains
they tore themselves on the teeth that hound
we truly blest have truly moved on
presuming to carry gentle our selves
’til we wake to say the soft parts loud
it’s all we know
that if you’re enough then i am too
so will you be my hello for the last time
and tell everyone i love them

pooch, go away now
i know you crave attention
(cannot feel my arms…)
i’m open to your absence
happy to be anywhere
