Artichoke

Lyrics

last night i dreamed you were a girl and your face was hid in your velvet curls. all round your knees lay the bodies of beasts you tortured and buried in the field. your house grew out of the air turpentine mixed with the smell of your hair. my chest opened in an artichoke bloom my body fell away choking. you were so honest when you were revealed. you were a natural at home with a wheel. my ribs bruised and clouded with pain my heart fell away bleeding. you few off into the air turpentine mixed with the smell of your hair. you were so honest when you were revealed. you were a natural with your hands on a wheel. i taught you to kill and you taught me to feel like a man at home with his hands on a wheel.
