lyrics

Accept my heart
Oh Mother Mars
The cavern yawns
Pregnant with dreams yet to be spawned
I spit red ocher on my palm
And sink my arm
Into the brood to heal the scar

Playing hide and seek
The curtain revealing my feet
She winces and covers her ears
Wishing I’d disappear

Silence cyanide
Chilly December
The time of the frozen lullabies
Bile-corroded and snide
Remarks in the embers
The time when our words turned to ice

I rub the rock against my wounds
As I descend into the womb
The scent of Mother’s skin and perspiration
Her lips teeming with bees buzzing “My darling”

Chorus

The bubble town
Where larvae drown
She shouts
Olly, olly, oxen free
I numbly creep out of the hive
And leave my hatred skin behind
You know I buried her body in shallow ground
Before I fled the blazing den
I reach out kicking up my legs
As Mother’s features twist and swarm
To mirror mine
Until I’m stillborn

Playing hide and seek
The curtain revealing my feet
She winces and covers her ears
Wishing I’d disappear

Chorus
