lyrics

Those bits of barbed wire, I could pick them out for you
your skin was milk-white, once - soft and warm,
before the bits of metal invested in your limbs
they're mangled, but keeping their form.

(Stay here forever)

A mole on your left arm is home to three spikes,
from the time you tried to leave for good at fourteen,
when you leave they'll always remind you of your mother
so deep in your skin it's obscene

I remember your skin, a deer's white tail in the moonlight
the palms of your hands, a new life's colostrum
I looked forward too fast and lost sight of your face
You can't hear me, though I shout love from the rostrum.
