Frances The Mute (Frances the Mute (Single), 2005)
It’s been thirteen seconds Since you all last said I’ve become the apparition You predicted for my death You said that flirting brings You closer to the end You can bait it to the water But you’ll never get the hint And like a stain of bricks goes Dancing by your head Plucked from an icebox Grafted on my skin
It’s been thirteen seconds Since you all last said I’ve become the apparition You predicted for my death You said that flirting brings You closer to the end You can bait it to the water but you’ll never get the hint and like a stain of bricks goes Dancing by your head Plucked from an icebox Grafted on my skin
My coat has withered marks Mink hits the shovel fix Near the sway of pendulums Bore abrasions and a kiss She said, “I’ll never let them hurt you I’ll never let them in" What you took from me is mine What is mine I’ll never give
Mascara glass in the molar weeds Her ash, a serpent infancy His eye patch pussed a gap of sand Into his shine a sedative More and more the dirt collects and you’ll never find her body now in a closet festered in a secret air Blonde underneath a blackened hair and he never knew the colony Gestated in his bed Mingle with the carnivores you’ve something both in common now Until one day, with his wasted breath Swollen throat and karma debt Set foot inside a parlor to find her drunken by receipts to find her drunken by receipts He held her by the ankles Gutted at the nave Yes gutted and depraved He tied a rope around her legs and let her hang for seven days
This never happened but I saw you leave and crawl into a bed of broken windows
This never happened but I saw you leave and crawl into a bed of broken windows
