lyrics

A girl sits outside on her front porch steps
Turning a squirrel into a squirt bottle.
Beauty marks and freckles redden her smile.
She doesn’t know that it’s only homework.
She handles her model like slick wet dirt.
A goddess watches marrow flowing into the earth.

On a bus that left Edmonton behind
A man began to sweat while the brakes whined.
This shitty trip home would be holy this time.
He spread another man’s skin
On his teeth with a knife in the farmland.
A sowing god shook the seeds in his head.

I left my eyes in a strange world where my fingers scraped papers to pearl.
There’s a gap between heaven and me.
The hand that killed the lambs made me.

I float amid risen water.
The past and Saguenay drowned Chicoutimi.
Fathers breast stroked to their sons and their daughters.
Mothers breast stroked to their sons and their daughters.
A flood doesn’t make a town clean once it’s dry.
A drooling god dreams of a drowned desperate cry.

I left my eyes in a strange world where my fingers scraped papers to pearl.
There’s a gap between heaven and me.
