lyrics

Under this waning moon, out from her fetal tomb
Beneath a plastic encased box,
I watched the nurses pass,
A wheezing bulbous mass of bloodied bubblegum.

You’ll ask “Does she have my eyes? The curly hair I had dreamed?”
Lord, let her be believed.

Under this sterile light, the nurse waltzed into sight
Blood coats my lower lip
Blow a bubble till the bubble splits.
The band is setting forth
Upon the new Queen’s court
We’re letting time kill itself unmercifully

But still you’ll ask, “Does she have my eyes? The curly hair I had dreamed?”
Lord, let her be believed.
If love’s eternal grace harbors shelter for the meek, then why should it be I know you, but you not me?

Gaze into my eyes, as I orchestrate Ada’s masquerade, oh darling, please be brave.
Does she have my eyes? The curly I had dreamed?
Lord, please…

Pressed up against the wall by room 239, footpaths of blood extending out of sight, like a trail of rose pedals, into the darkness.
