lyrics

.
~ sagging insects ~
.

They corner you
They open you
They flavour you
They bleed on you

They use perfume,
let the air in
Know no numbers
Know no thunder

Let you waver
In the blister
Give you more
More than you can take
Something sick is
Coiled inside her
Sagging insects
Try to find her

Give me sagging insects
Got those sagging insects
You’re my sagging insect

Give you power
Let you run free
In the garden
If it’s raining
If there’s thunder
If it’s opal
If these plastic trees are wooden

The thicker blood is only mud
The quicker blood is only me
The mud is moving
Clouds are forming
Mud is ordered to stop moving

*

Under streetlamps
Under burning
Leaving dead flies
On the sidewalk
There’s a slow man
There’s a fast man
One is diamond
One is granite

On the street
A puddle’s growing
All it holds is dirty water
When the rivers meet the puddles
Then they hold
A dirty body

*

Do the sagging insect
