Lyrics

Whispers invoke the artists of this tragically seemless, ill fated tapestry
Blistered fingers are tending their loom
She collects the strands to braid into life
Logging the weft of an ageless, woven infinity, countless raw fibers are clawing the frame
A woman's work is never done, but the final stitch has got to come
And so three witches contend to slice the very last thread
(That you curse, curse constantly)
But nothing's immortal, and comfort is not guaranteed-
A yearling who bears our sincere passions is chosen, frozen and quivering
Like a thread in the wake of a blade
So we compromise, so we sacrifice
Compromise nothing, but that which secures a comfortable life, risk as the indication of a healing sacrifice
Destroy the altar whose boundaries tides will never exceed, ignite the pyres underneath a sedated mythology
Five decades his lifetime, and his life's work is just fading scratches in stone
She tends the numerals, counting fingers, counting her toes
Keeping track of the time racing, years wasting
(Dance to the sound of his weight bearing back breaking)
Infinite ages the length of this quilt's making
And we dance, we dance in the stronghold..
That you curse, curse constantly, of the needle's sheen
Do you feel this thin strand resting in a pinch?
That's the thread that you curse, curse constantly
An eternal patch on a quilt that hangs from a wall in a throw frought with our decay..
From six states away, five years of guilt postmarked four days before my escape
All I ever asked was for a clean break
In the first nervous light of the day
Collecting the novels whose scribes sought to keep me contained
My dad's favorite novel on top of the pile, in the self concious first light shake the memory of his smile, igniting these volumes, igniting these volumes I'm warmed by the flames
Alter the deafening earthen tones..
In the nervous light, I dance in the nervous light and I'm warmed by the flames
Dance to the sound of his weight bearing back fucking breaking
Alter the pitch of his weight bearing back breaking, dictate the pitch of his weight bearing back breaking
Alter the tone of your weight bearing back breaking, we can mend all the seams that were torn during our backs slowly breaking
In the nervous light..
