cowalker - lorelei lyrics

Loading...

guide your fingers along and pull the seams apart
a brand new artery to replace the dying ones tied to your heart
pray the veins don’t close that it might beat again
circulating blood to kiss the outer appendages

there’s a lot i’d like to say but i’ll bite my tongue
for what it’s worth, i’m sorry things turned out this way

there’s a lesson to be learned:
the scalpel makes a mark
in the shape of a ‘y,’
from shoulder blades and abdomen to sternum
(it’s the incision that remains)
the empty cavities fill with bile
bones with marrow, skin with cartilage

when do love and devotion cease to exist?
you b-st-rdized these words
and now they haunt your dreams at night while you sleep

shifting pallid silhouettes
trace the awning from
windowsill to mannequin
from sidewalk and the street
to finger-printed gl-ss;
the muscles (neck on down) atrophy

this tinted room brings their formless shapes to life
and there, as they dance across the stoic figures’
chalk-white frames, the shadows illuminate
a p-ssage etched into their arms
that says ‘you deserve it all
and it deserves you.’

st-tch a line straight across the exits
and stretch them until the ends elide
sew the edges there, entredeux in between them

the color’s all wrong
but i made this for you
the pulse is all but gone
but i still feel it move
