Bow Down to the Queen
06:49
|
|||
|
shining, blooming, sweet & bleeding heart of
fragrant traumas fixed in amber
wielding hope like an antidote
when despair is what's there
but oh what's in between
these folds of time
what's in between us
gotta bow down to the queen
the queen
bow down to the queen
dredging up the pain
of colonial projects
we shudder and shake
we are changed
deranged by these stories
there's no glory
thinking about the problem won't fix it
pushing harder won't take you there
you gotta touch the tender center
it's foolish to breathe, but we must
we must allow ourselves to grieve
so muscle up
throw your belly full of burdens down to the ground
throw your belly down
put it on the ground
she's fat!
she's flush!
and full of juice!
so bring it bring it and find the me in you
you
focus
get bigger
touch touch touch it now
the world hurts
but don't be afraid to be powerful
in service to her majesty and
give the people what they want
give the people what they want
let yourself collapse
and feel the firing synapse
(burn baby burn baby burn baby burn baby burn baby burn baby burn baby burn baby burn)
you make me love you
i mean i wanted to
do something for me
just bow down to the queen
it's a dream we all weave
(dream we all weave
dream we all weave)
she's blooming
she's blooming
she's blooming
she's blooming
yeah
whoa
whoa
whoa

Cave of Treasures
02:55
|

|
i was me on a highway trailing blue slime behind me
looking forward to a journey through the dark and formless night
and before me a chimera, part owl part frog
where the path forks left and the path forks right
and she told me "i hear the song of your soul"
and she said "which path will you take"
it was a trick it looped right back to where we came from
that same place, that same false dichotomy
and i said "deeper, take me deeper"
i wanna go down below and dig down deep
to where the roots explore the soil
and behold, a cave of treasures opened up below
sparkling and colorful, lit by fire within,
but then on closer inspection
it was pizza boxes soda bottles broken glass and plastic
the un-repented sins of the generations
through the veil, i became bloodied by their tears
well the tears are made of glass and the treasure is all trash
and you love it, you must love it, for this is our creation
and the ancestors they see you and the ancestors they are you
and in your lovers eyes you see the arms that span the centuries
encircle you with love
so be careful where you walk and take care of who you touch
back out on the path with your one slug foot
and your coat of many arms you meet a priestess of the stars
with her cloak made of light and she looks you in the eye
and you say "i trust the song of your soul"
i lost myself somewhere and at some point i became you
hope you enjoyed my body now you know how i move
with strength and endurance and a minimal assurance
that those who come near won't have too much to prove
for we all must learn to treasure what is here

baby where you going
you were out so late last night
you didn't take me with you
three times last week
who are you seeing
when you're not with me
you smell different
i can smell your other life
oh whoa...
i always want you close enough to push away
close enough to push away
close enough to push away
close enough to push away
(i always want you) close enough to push away
(i always want you) close enough to push away
(i always want you) close enough to push away
close enough to push away
remember how it used to be
you used to take me to the park
you used to watch me dance
and tell me oh you're such a good good girl
see how pretty, my rose petal ears
let me in
let's get deep under the covers
i always want you close enough to push away
close enough to push away
close enough to push away
close enough to push away
(i always want you) close enough to push away
(i always want you) close enough to push away
(i always want you) close enough to push away
close enough to push away
i'm the best girl you'll ever have
i love you more than you'll ever know
everyone else should get the fuck away
before i bite off their face
i always want you close enough to push away
close enough to push away
close enough to push away
close enough to push away

i don't think you're bad
in fact you're a real deep beauty
and you kinda glow
up close you're so
warm
wearing
your hearts on both sleeves
come to me
you make such good jokes
off the top of your pointy head
i'll remind you later
if you forget
wearing
your hearts on both sleeves
i believe in you and me
we gotta work hard
we gotta work hard
we gotta work hard
we gotta work hard
we gotta work hard
to be liberated
have you ever been harsh
have you ever been mean
have you ever been cold
have you ever been punishing?
we gotta work hard
we gotta work hard
we gotta work hard
we gotta work hard
we gotta work hard
to be liberated
i'm sorry that i was harsh
i didn't mean to be mean
did that snotty voice really
just come out of me?
building a ship in a two car garage
steering the ship away from the rocks
oh i love you
oh i love you
oh i love you
oh i love you
building a ship in a two car garage
steering the ship away from the rocks
oh i love you

let's talk it through baby
we can get through it
please come back to me baby

building a ship in a two car garage
steering the ship away from the rocks
oh i love you

oh i love you
building a ship in a two car garage
steering the ship away from the rocks
let's talk it through baby

building a ship in a two car garage
steering the ship away from the rocks
oh i love you
oh i love you

oh i love you
building a ship
steering the ship away from the rocks
