Axis Mundi - Magik Markers

Tell me a story where you don’t come home

And steady waters wear the stone

Tell me a story where you leave your home

And ditch her steady, sitting bones

Look at yourself and what do you see?

The fat skin of eve makes a devil out of me

Lord loose the women and light the fires

‘Ain't love that makes me,' smiles the liar

Bringing up the rear with whiskey and clouds

Ain’t grief or glory maks me bow

The bucked math of clls does not agree

Divide, divide to multiply me

Tell me a story where you don’t come home

And steady waters wear the stone

Tell me a story where you leave your home

And ditch her steady, sitting bones

You’re a strange strong tree with branches black

You I whisper and shake to attack

Until the wood is loud with bit flesh howls

And dogs are dizzy with blood wet jowls

I left my stink like a mink’s dead gland

All over your mouth, all over your hand

Cut cut unto that sweet bird’s throat

And sew for me a feathered coat

I scoop out one eye and the well washed it clean

I’m just getting my own, I’m not being mean

I’ve come to collect what’s rightfully mine

Who slipped from my string as I let it untwine

I see what is coming with the eye I lost

The well cleans it open, water tossed

I know who will betray me before they do

And I set to punishing the many and the few

This is the story where you don’t go home

And the ready ocean stole the stone

This is the story where I am your home

And we leave those others all alone
