lyrics

i am old and new
like lines at the corners of your mouth
i fold into myself
in perpetual compartmentalization

i am invented
from paper clips and bottle caps
you glued me there like that
and i don't work, not without your participation

even if you hated me
did you imagine me?
i'm patient for you to come

when all the winds of the world stop blowin
and there is no more tide
i'll wait for you outside
in the quiet suffocation of the acrid night

i am not calm, i'm not much at all
when you are not around
i drink my silence down
after all, i know well that it's not fair to cry

even when he fucks me
he cannot fathom me
i'm patient for you to come
bring me back to my body
i'll be here

let the hours suck the yolk right out of me
i let the mold climb the wall
take my power
if you'd love me
i would be your doll
i would do it all

even if i hated you
i still have worshipped you
love and mercy cannot be married
i'm still not sure i understand
