I Keep My Church To Me Pt. I

from The Vuuz by Animal Pharma

/

lyrics

You’ve lost your childhood hands
To deathbed sheets and prayers
The absence of old friends
Makes graveyards recent things

You’d think that I’d be sad
To draw my mum and dad
In crayon like I had
A million years ago

There’s ugly in my chord
That sacrifices more
Than any note before
Inside your hating ears

To take you where I go
Makes anywhere a home
My bedroom as a child
Returns when I’m alone

But you’re a healthy wound
An empty Claire de lune
For embryos are promises
Who’re bound to break in two

They cut two souls abrupt
The sea foam washed their way
And set them both ablaze
A clinic kingdom come

I keep my church to me
And lay for an eternity
Inside your thighs and knees
Until I have to leave

We meet on greener grass
The hour of your passing
The death of things thought bad
That lurk beneath your bed

You didn’t bother to be there - where?
My empty, widowed teddy bear
I’m feeding worms the rest of me
My coffin shade, eternally

I’ll keep your steeple clean
I’ll keep your steeple clean
Come age to rot the beauty that’s
Remembering you and me

To be a younger me
And change my history
Rewrites you in my story
And stays forever mine

I keep my church to me
And lay for an eternity
Inside your thighs and knees
I sleep in sweet repose

I’m soiled in the mind
The parts remaining clean
Are cleaner than the kind
Of world that you believe

You’re walking on my breath
For as long as I can breathe
And if there’s little left
You’ll give your church to me
