lyrics

Magpie, I sometimes wish that I
was unwanted, afterbirth,
spilled out on filth that should have stayed on my fingers.

So I took a knife through butter,
I thought about the consequence of going under
but for fear of trying,
and getting my clothes dirty.

Magpie, my confession is falsified,
shortlist for denial and invite,
the Caligulate, hail Incitatus.

But dear sky,
surely I deserve the right?
beyond a caring look or glance,
that crippled me deeply.

If you don't like this then look away,
spread for miles over a water bay,
double standards, they are shifting demerara,
while i'm stuck in the shade.

Magpie, where is your pair?
Will you promise to not cross me on flights of stairs
so when i least expect it,
my internals are leaking.

I confide, point a laser at a plane,
promise me you'll never come back again,
headfirst, white spider
and my chest will cave in.

You lied, heavy prompts and editing,
truth be told i'm not one to request,
cellar door at the right price
and I lose a dimension.
