lyrics

Sylvia

You were left standing Godless
On the grim shore,
Curls unfurled and an emaciated
Waste line to match your mouth.
Stones cracked like bones underneath
Your cloth shorn feet.
What dream is this
That carves a wife from a broken soul?
Where podge faced babies
Watch your every move,
And that hollow feeling
Catches in the curve of the moon.
A womb that aches empty
As all the stars of night fall.
These small hours
That makes us human,
And this endless flight
Of daylight stairs
We have to climb.
Dragging the dead
On our heels.
