about

This is a song about a boy.

lyrics

Come into my arms
Unwind your shoulder blades
I know you're cold
I've seen those winter days

And where is your kin
Way far away in the land of Ireland

Underneath your nails
There's blooded dirt and skin
Against the east
Your child eyes can't tell
All the gentleman from rogues and motherless fiends

so listen to me
You offer ugly winds no offering
And yet you speak of a time so different now
I dream of it somehow

Little one, will you carry my breath
Rabid dog, will you swallow pestilence
August rock, do not feel your past
Ladybug, stay on your blade of grass

We're not long for this world
There's no fire here to burn
We're not long for this world
Let easterly return

We're not long for this world
From the mire to the fern
We're not long for this world
Let easterly return, easterly return

Rabid boy, do you feel the madness
In your dreams, you can taste her skin
Naked girl, and all your dry sockets
Cannot taste a thing

We're not long for this world
There's no fire here to burn
We're not long for this world
Let easterly return

We're not long for this world
From the mire to the fern
We're not long for this world
Let easterly, easterly, easterly return
