lyrics
Homonym, homonym, take pride in your sin
See past the place where I end and you begin
You have cut and paste your heart and your limbs
Find them on the clipboard or the recycle bin
Where’ve you been, little thing? Did the alarm bells ring?
Left like frightened mice, when the flames crept in?
What’s wrong Homonym? You’re tired and you’re thin,
A face in the mirror, longing for better skin.
And like pyramidic tombs, the skeletons of factories
On the skyline we’ll leave one more shameful old casualty
As a canvas, by and by, we bowed and we burrowed,
Beneath beams and the birth of the ascent of an arrow
And the garden, it grew, out of life or out of shame
You’d close every door, and I had nothing to say
And how I’d breathe your skin, like a ghost ingesting another
An eraser on paper, a daughter to a mother
And I see you now as simply, one half of a vision
The stitches that frame the straight line of incision
And the day where it ended, as the day I begin,
To know who you are, my little Homonym.
And I’ve forgotten my name,
From all we’ve done I see, you’re now part of me.
Where all things find their place,
The embers rise to be, the air the fire breathes.
