A Song for Dismemberment

from Songs for Dismemberment: Shi by Radio Wire Empire

lyrics

when did you first see the light?
and this is where things take on a darker tone;
another song of the night
you died, were birthed, kissed, deflowered
you wrote another piece about yourself
in third person

the infatuation seems so strange,
for a person you claim to hate
when it comes to spite you clean the plate
another dish you over ate and overrated

you use 'you' too much, and i'm so sick of pronouns

the light, the light
do you see it?
i'll make it brighter
i'll pull it tighter

i can see the blue in your face
heaven's not that far away now
i can see the blue in your face
heaven's not that far away now
i can see the blue in your face
heaven's not that far away now
i can see the blue in your face
heaven's not that far away now

you smile
you tell me more
i pull tighter
and now you
are home
ghost's fly from the eyes so cracked and red
lips part whispers "more" clenched to the bed &
beg for less breath, let's find the joy hidden in death
body gone, spirit alive,
joined as one, new life arrives
the words are no cleverer, but the message is so much
more crystalline

the light, the light
do you see it?

i can see the blue in your face
heaven's not that far away now
i can see the blue in your face
heaven's not that far away now

"What do you get when folk music gets drunk, and inadvertently confuses Shoegazey Ambient Electronica for it's normal fuck buddy, rock music, booty calls SAE at two in the morning, forgets to wear a condom, and gets SAE pregnant?
You get Radio Wire Empire." - Tramps Upstairs ... more
