lyrics

You ought to go back from where you came.
See Emily speak these things today.
I write them down and she says the words on the page.
She’s my character designed to do these things today.
So let her watch the nightfall, and see the steam rising from the leaves.

Let your veins poke out long,
The bluish branches cry out for your mouth.
I see her looming and you start stumbling toward me,
But she don’t walk and she doesn’t make eyes on me,
She just acts the parts as written, and then she’ll see the steam rising from the leaves.

Emily says, “I do not know why you’re fight for me Jeanie,
You should just go now, and let me be.
Say things that reference the snow and the lilting steam rising into the unknown, mourning lily.”

You said, “I’ll go now to adjacent room,”
Holding the knife that’s to be my doom.
I made you raise it, and I watched it entering me.
But you do it lightly, because I made you place it gently in me.
Put my body in the backyard and you’ll see the steam rising as I leave.
