Lyrics
how dare you mete out perdition
why bear my name in the back of your mouth
who bade you stand and deliver
who made you wholly ungrateful and proud
i wear my best
stand at the edge
put forth my best foot and tumble to the ground
let your shit cake up my gown
don't let it shake up my crown
i wipe the sweat from my brow
where is the shame? what is the floor? who does it help?
what is the lowest that you've ever felt?
what are the harshest cards you've been dealt?
i drew the darkest parts squinting staring at nothing
but glistening fragments like sand in the oven
i'd threaten to knock out your teeth if i did not know
i'd just be hitting myself all over again
i watched your arms in the harvest
i watched your heat billow cold air to clouds
i took your scythe to the garden
i swung your sledge to the ground
yours paved in gold mine in brown
you waved your pitchfork around
i just want something to eat
you made a show in the town
while i made bread from your wheat
you hate the fox on the grounds
like you hate the hunger you feel
your eyes are sunk into puddles
you cannot see what is real
you hold your light the window
only your face is revealed
you see my night from a distance
you fear the space in the trees
you bring the spoon to your mouth
while you feel the snow falling down
but i wipe the sweat from my brow
