The Bog Bodies (Dorm Demo)

My man is a stagnant water

A mud-your-linen, cacklin' bog land

Waded in his iris to my knees

I bathed in his mouth overnight

We drank moonbeams from oily skies

Come dawn, he begged me, "Please love, never leave"

I have hands for building altars

Lips to pray to reckless gods

I was made to be a devotee

His mangroves held me 'til I died

My bodies relic left behind

To fossilize beneath the willow trees

Thrashing like Ophelia in my feather down coat

Someone teach me to love without it swallowing me whole

If to love is to be changed, I'm only worsenin'

Mosquito larvae in my ribs

He only loves me when I rot with him

I'm my father's stubborn daughter

And I am no gentle lover

Only crown I wear is loyalty

My man is a stagnant water

A mud-your-linen, cacklin' bog land

And I'm forever stuck his bog body

My man is a stagnant water

A mud-your-linen, cacklin' bog land

And I'm forever stuck his bog body
