Lyrics
My stinkin' lies and I were tracked down by a bear
It waited till I fell asleep to make its presence known
I heard its paws and opened my eyes I could smell it breathing
It could hear my blood
Red sky, a curtain draws, the moon traces around
The shape of something growing louder was stretched across my tent
And etched into my scent was a garden of guts
Terror blossomed from my bones
When I get misplaced I forget the name that I've answered all my life
Everything glows slightly, nothing's so dim it can ever truly hide
Shiny and sharp as a grin grown in the dark
Was I there or was I blind?
Once you and I walked through the vines at the edge of town
We stained our teeth with wine
And smiled like wolves smile at their prey
Like teenagers when they've found a song that they can't quit singing
After they get high
Le Grand Balloon, I'm the buffoon that treks your trails
The pearly tit that milks the valley — Menstrual lava goddess
I jump in, I can't swim, but I don't dare
Take me there when I get old
There is a dark stretch on the road
That connects my spirit to my spine
Littered with my memoirs
Thrown out of cars drove by people passing through
Holes in my shoes, distribution warehouse blues
Was I aware I was alive?
Embers, innocent prisoners break free from the pyre
You light so I can find my way back in the night
A seed made out of light you plant in the dark, damp dirt of a dream
Build us a fire family out of the trash
From the bin behind the beauty store
Light them on fire and release a light
So that I might follow it back to your arms
Draw me a bath of the tears leaked from your laugh the blooms
The green perfume of home
