odette - mandible lyrics

[verse 1]
i walk along the pebbled shore
legs covered in phosphorus
and up ahead is a mandible
with jagged t++th stained by mildew

[verse 2]
and, oh, i get so d+mn distracted
i feel there’s something i needed to do
a gull plucks pilchards from the water
and i remember seeing you

[chorus]
take my heart in your hands
feel it beat as we dance
i want more than just two strangers
stealing thrills from fleeting glances
sound the h+rn, play the drums
i will call, will you run?
will you lash out at the web that’s
keeping you from everyone?

[verse 3]
and so i will enter the parlour
hands claspеd with nervousness
and up ahead is a mantеlpiece
a rugged, ochre ox’s head, mmm
[bridge]
i’ll approach, will you turn?
will you listen? will i learn?
i want your infatuation
though i know the heat, it burns
i’m no moon, i’m like silt
i’m no flower, though i wilt
i’m an upright out of tune
with broken keys and chords that shrill
all these scattered bones are
remnants of a past
that stripped them of their skin
and left them in a glass box
i don’t want to seem conviction+less and shaky
but pin me to your table
and trace my bluest veins

[chorus]
take my heart in your hands
feel it beat as we dance
i want more than just two strangers
stealing thrills from fleeting glances
sound the h+rn, olay the drums
when i call, will you run?
i will lash out at the web that’s
keeping me from everyone
take my heart in your hands
feel it beat as we dance
i want more than just two strangers
stealing thrills from fleeting glances
sound the h+rn, play the drums
when i call, will you run?
i will lash out at the web that’s
keeping me from everyone
