lyrics

Silent snow falls
Steam thickens the air
Round these stone walls
And someone’s cut all my hair

Reindeer don’t stir
Their skin is sacrosanct
Lapcat won’t purr
At the sight of a septic tank

Drawn across the throat
I open like a flower bud
Prematurely pried
I’m not formed full inside

Bodies lay akimbo
Our blood is sparkling with light
From LED coils through the
Hawthorn’s high spines
So bright

I didn’t want to die

Father I’m tired
Tore me limb from limb
Grave desecration
Great flames peeled back my skin

You gave me life
I loved you just like a baby
It was not for you
To revoke
The gift that you gave me

Drawn across the throat
I open like a flower bud
Prematurely pried
I’m not formed full inside

Bodies lay akimbo
Our blood is sparkling with light
From LED coils through the
Hawthorn’s high spines
So bright

I didn’t want to die

It’s Christmas Day
My body is broken and spent
My soul fills the air
Bones prone, crooked and bent

A broken snowman
A rearing plastic bull
Dirt falls across us
It’s New Year at the landfill in Hull
