a small bird - snakebite lake lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
a ramp+less highway through a wild wood—
your smile, which never looked so good
cuts through the dark; the car is warm
thick and boiling like a growing storm

[verse]
you put your failures to the side
kitschy ornaments and kitchen knives
you don’t need anything tonight
that snakebite lake does not provide

[chorus]
aphrodite’s long+forgotten daughter
dives headfirst into the water
and though you watched the dive so close
the surface seemed to be all solid stone

[verse]
they shed the cracking skins they wore
and leave thеir old suits on the shore
and though it’s winter, thе water’s warm
a kiln in which a god is formed

[verse]
all rise up on mountain legs
vested in green and violet threads
garlands of amarylls on every head
a round of sudden, sodden, steely breaths
[chorus]
phanes’s children, sons, and daughters
swim like dancers in the water
and you don’t even take off your shoes
just stand there willing laces to come loose

[bridge]
come loose!
come loose!
(the color of a morning rose,)
come loose!
(lavender and olive oil,)
bm am6 gmaj7 f6
come loose!
(as befits the bath of virgo,)
come loose!
(warrior in woman’s mold.)

[chorus]
the grey+eyed goddess’ forgotten daughter
watches the figures in the water
clad in the most absolute arboreal ardor
brighter still than the yester+evening’s stars were
