lyrics... Laura Veirs

Magnetised.

Slain
By your zirconium smile
I was slain
By your olivine eyes
Slain
I was lying in piles
Hoping shovels would cast me
Furnaces burn everlasting
Black tattoos of you onto me
Furnaces burn everlasting
Black tattoos

Burn
Brand my memory
Black
A tattoo of you
Wash
Me with your mouth
Brackish bright water from your eyes
I’ll homing pigeon fly
To hover by your window white and shy
Homing pigeon fly
To hover by

Spill
My ashes to the wind
Ghosts
Can gather what they’ve found
Now
We can struggle in the web 
We can struggle
With white spider stars coming down
And night blowing black from the ground… 

Parisian Dream.

Your painting
Scratched lines of blue and gold
You open me up
Was folding into myself
A deck of cards
Face down empty on the shelf

Your song with 
Emphasis on one and two
Then I couldn’t keep time
You took me into a dream
Exploding soundtrack 
That I treasure as mine…

I was bent over
My chest and invisible line 
Sinking
But then the light 
The lamp that I held 
In my blistered hands
You the fuel and 
Me the fool for not noticing

This Chinese junk we’re on
With strapping strong
You cast free the lines
Let’s float here
Together clearly we better
Slip out to the brine!
