Twist
Are my eyes too open or in the wrong direction?
Are my wounds too token, am I not forgiven?
I've had this meat inside my belly since before that
I was born.
Shake me, make me, gently break me
Fluid fingers overtake me
Lift me, fly me, oh I cry -
Me oh my, I think that I can
Hear you rattling deep inside me,
hypodermis saintly find me,
Blood beneath your leaves
I'm just another twist in your tree.
Angels in crushed velour
Lose a day upon the hour
A piece of string for ev'ry star
Our stellar gallows tease the ground
Why is your head shaking?
Why are your hearts breaking?
I am only half-awake
And half of me is dream
Shake me, make me, gently break me
Fluid fingers overtake me
Lift me, fly me, oh I cry -
Me oh my, I think that I can
Hear you rattling deep inside me,
hypodermis saintly find me,
Blood beneath your leaves
I'm just another twist in your
Shake me, make me, gently break me
Fluid fingers overtake me
Lift me, fly me, oh I cry -
Me oh my, I think that I can
Hear you rattling deep inside me,
hypodermis saintly find me,
Blood beneath your leaves
I'm just another twist in your tree.
