Jordaan Mason & the Horse Museum
carpenter / rebuild the body out of birds
[Verse 1]
There's a bulk of birds in your bonfire head
And you sleep with one eye open
And you slice away your arms like bread
To butter with your semen
And your hair is knots of nooses you could strangle
Strange and lonely
Carpenters, sleep gardens red
And rearrange your body
[Verse 2]
Because in the dark we all sound the same
Our bodies are blistered from needing
I made you a bed from pieces of my legs
And you sorely sat there, bleeding
Animal sister boy, could I have kept you
Is there a way of wood to protect you
Sent from houses, stripped and cold
I carried on my back
Piano planks and forestry for shelter in your chest
You are sores and red flesh, let's sleep again
Sin our way through secrets and cause all the violence
[Outro]
Let's leave our bodies
Let's leave our bodies
Pull our skin from these bones
And this house from these homes
