Midrashim Gone Velveteen

from The Ether by mrmoth

/

lyrics

These fingers, here on your knees
Feel them pushing them apart
This tongue drinking in your sweat
Its sucking at the heat from your heart
I've been caught on the details of your construction
Your blood guts and bones and little clumps of hair
And the lips that swallow the name of god
But couldn't shake the matter rendered there

I can feel it beating
When I test its depth
But the blood that flows
From it is death

This spine, written for the language of creation
And this tongue wrote for those lips
This is the lock of the human revolution
An orchid drawn from your hip
My fear was given the right to reason
As above then so below
Your charms cut with purpose
Into your flesh... I go

I can taste you bleeding
When I lick the wet
And I know there's a shining
Here in this bed
