lyrics

Your mouth a black hole
your mouth a black hole
where do you go

Cloaks of wings flying in reflect in the screen’s luminosity
they cut the glass a-withering a scream like an open grave

Laughing as you cross off the days they’re there searching for threads
sew together the all the silver slivers flying the flag on the iron moon

Cough up a stone the heart a coal
the trail left and the search is bled
ghosting the morning roads
and on the whispering stairs
Tearing up trees with my bare
hands and run fields ten at a time

 The life once known is now a forgotten boat of half-sunk prayers  

Lay down lay down  
forget forget

Your mouth a black hole
where do you go

Black fields
black roads
 the pylons
the verges
the undergrowth 

Estuaries path
the weeds
the shipyard’s bridge  
the platforms lip
the waters edge

Your mouth a black hole 
where do you go 

nobody knows
