lyrics

orpheus never looked back
you wept as he did not turn
leaving your hand in that fire
until you smell the burn
rendezvous in the blue
low lit room of idolatry
shake up all your dead corpses
make them play for keeps
your kind of touching can’t be nothing
meaningless messages for free
overboard unapplied up you climbed
i’ll call you my persephone
blackberry gnarls and thorns
not very good at reciprocating hugs
still you seek out the taste
of sweetness that hinted at love
your kind of touching can’t be nothing
meaningless messages for free
overboard unapplied up you climbed
i’ll call you my persephone
were you just listening to your heart
that’s something i cannot disdain
were you just letting yourself go
i’ve been trying to do the same
im afraid of the dark
im afraid of the police
the weight of my head
is now folding my knees
