Lyrics

Courtship

[Verse 1]

He turned me down, I then downturned another

Who then downturned her

The paralyzing juice of rejection

His veins full of lead

He's left with loving what he lost

More than what he has

[Verse 2]

My snakeskin cold in the dark

But warms up in the light

I then upturned a green-eyed giant

Who upturned and entered me

Will we stop seeing what unites us

But only what differs?

[Interlude]

The ghosts of old loves

Hovering around his orifices, his orifices...

[Verse 3]

As you narrate your own hearttale

You thread souls into one beam

The love you gave and have been given

Weave into your own dream

I trust my cells to re-archive

My love historic stream

[Outro]

[Gibberish]
