lyrics

Who but i ate the fruit of your lips

i am dead and a voice sings me
who but i ate the fruit of your lips
i sing spinners to shatter the sycamore
run naked on the bare hill’s pelt
found again and flayed
i choose to die as myself by the sea
i fought coal and mud on the pointless tightrope
those that pursue me once were men
nevertheless i have not been broken
nevertheless i sing in the meadow
i have wrestled with the commands of oak
i have burnt in the skin of a tulip
i have laid down ready to die
and yet i live and breathe
i have been lost in the winter thorns
yet i walk here on the high downs singing
i am lost and a voice finds me
soaked to the skin on an empty highway
shocked by the realm of rain passing
ghosts of ice walking empty pastures
i found fire in the breast of a raven
i was the fox whose mouth was outlawed
i was the mouth of nine raging elms
i put my head in the dandelion’s mouth
i was the danger of the iris
sword of silk at the throat of the king
who but i escaped long labour
to feast on blackberries and dew
