Text

EmI watch the work of my kin boB7ld and boyfulEm

EmToying somewhere between lovB7e and abuseEm

DCalling to join them the wretched and joGyful

EmShaking the wings of their terB7rible youthsEm

EmFreshly dissolved in some froB7zen devotionEm

EmNo more alone or myselB7f could I be.Em

DLooks like a strain to the arms it were oGpen,

EmNo shortage of sordid, no protesB7t from me.Em

EmWith her sweetened breath, & her toGngue so mean

DShes the angel of small death & the Emcodeine scene

EmWith her straw-blonde hair, her arGms hard & lean

DShes the angel of small death & the Emcodeine scene

EmFeeling more human and hookB7ed on her flesh I,Em

EmLay my heart down with the reB7st at her feet.Em

DFresh from the fields, all feeGder and fur tires,

EmBloody and raw, but I swB7ear it is sweetEm.

EmAnd lease this confusion, Ill wB7ander the concrEmete,

EmWonder if better now haB7ving surviveEmd.

DJarring of judgement and reaGsons defeat,

EmThe sweet heat of her breath in mB7y mouth Im alivEme.

EmAnd lease this confusion, Ill B7wander the coEmncrete,

EmWonder if better now haB7ving surviveEmd.

DJarring of judgement and reaGsons defeat,

EmThe sweet heat of her breath in mB7y mouth Im alivEme.
