lyrics

I was a child
She’d come into my bedroom
When it was dark
Ma would laugh
Like a witch and it would
Scare the shit out of me

I was a child
You were in the kitchen
I told you that i was going to make my
Holy Communion
Then Papa cried
And I asked why
He said its cause he wasn't invited
I know now that that was a lie
And i'm still that child
I'm still that child
I'm still that child

An uncomfortable sweat creeps
My teeth turn soft in my cottonmouth
And i can't hear you now
I try to swim in it - my golden loneliness
Combing arms for the answers while still reliving her cancers
Keeping everything in and close to my wrists
Thinking often of the days you’d miss
The gurn of my jaw wears me down
Sometimes everything slows around
At times I fall back into that old pain with small hands knocking soft brains
They walk down freezing sea lanes
I am a house hidden in the Mourne Mountains buried behind the trees
Your crooked smile in that slight dark with your bones fucking all your skin
Like a skeleton under a sheet
But beautiful to me
We were starved of and stuffed with sleep
I think it’s time to leave

I was a child
You were in the kitchen
I told you that I was going to make my
Holy Communion
Then papa cried
And I asked why
He said it’s cause he wasn't invited
I know now that that was a lie
And I'm still that child
I'm still that child
I'm still that child

In your cold bed I met a tiny death

Mattress floating in the kitchen

Bury it
Bury this
Fuck it all
In a memory grave
