Time Deer - Bent Knee

Every tree bursting

No phoenix, no net

No Green Peace, no regret

Just gravity

Blowing no flames

Spitting out secrets

Thick noises out power our voices

Oh, nasty dog

You are choking on a cog in my time machine

Drag you along to the times from which you run

So you can see what I see

Oh, nasty dog

You are choking on a cog in my time machine

Drag you along to the times from which you run

Cracking away, syringes and blankets

Our poets are strangers and voiceless

In the ash, I found a bird

Still as the lump men

Sleeping in alleyways

Still as my gaze, as they’re croaking for change

Let myself feel nothing and walk away

Piss stained and crunchy

Toothless and pungent

I’m sure he deserved it

Oh, nasty dog

You are choking on a cog in my time machine

Drag you along to the times from which you run

So you can see what I see

Oh, nasty dog

You are choking on a cog in my time machine

Drag you along to the times from which you run

So you can see what I see

I was string thin, barren and scrambling for food

My people exiled, subhuman and crude

They took my lover and library too

War left me vagrant with nothing to lose

If I could go back, one thing I would do

Try to unravel, cut down, and unscrew

The first double helix that links me to you

First double helix that links me to you

Ooh, ah, ah, ah
