lyrics

blood moon rising in the springtime
its another day, its another night
how many years does it take to purge the soil of all the weeds
its as if their hands are still around my body

I'm hesitating at the edge of the water you're waiting
and the sun's on my skin
I wish you'd just pull me in
learning to trust my fragile body knowing very well it will surely betray me

and I surely don't mean to be so sensitive
but it'd be nice if you'd remove your fingers from my neck
I am running out of breath

its such a strange thing to feel powerful
walking the streets starts to feel more like a battle
I am capable

allowing myself to
falling right into
the sea of you, and all its deepest hues
I'm losing myself in
all my perverse constructions
and the way out is skewed

voices crawl the sidewalks in the half moon
like kudzu vines they're coming to envelope you

another living statue for the forest
shadows of the creatures that destroy us
