Taxidermist Taxidermist

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Dislocation, pushy persuasion Ligament and bone, ligament and bone Crystal structures, defects and blunders Once turning all my mineral to stone, stone, stone And so I reintroduce me to myself "How do you do?" I say, "I've heard such lovely things about Who you are and where you've been But be in me again, yes back in me again" [Chorus] Will, oh will, oh wilderness, my wilderness Dark and ambiguous, will you tangle me in? Lie, oh lie, oh lioness, my lioness Sharp and ambivalent, won't you lie on my skins? Taxi, taxidermist, taxidermist, sopping-ripe intentionest, oh I am intent On paying attention again to my own cracked compass Steady-handed [Verse 2] Semantic satiation where I can say your name Over and over till it means nothing A deliberate extinction of everything I know I was never meant to know, know about you But you are a fawn with such secrets And I have been fond and keen on your meekness I've bled dry for your arms, and I've longed to Gnaw on your neck, fawning over it [Outro] My love, oh my sweet love Whom I am yet to unravel with One night lie on my pulse, tap the beats of my heart out on your clavicle One day we shall be enraptured, sweet enrapture What anticipation and how masterful You can show me I am here in this world Tall and truly true Meeting myself before I meet you
