revelator - the scarring party lyrics

Loading...

the laces of his ribs caged
a heart blue as a robin’s egg
abandoned like a boat half full of water
kept from sinking by its tether to the harbor
like a willow spilling downward
or a hand to holy water
his back bent like a reed against the storm
he shrank until he wasn’t there at all

tell us what you saw, john
drinking wormwood water from a brandy glass
oh, john, won’t you tell us what you saw?
“i saw a beast with bright red eyes
eyes as bright as a liquor store sign
i saw a beast, tall and wide
tall and wide as the water tower’s high
i swear, i swear that’s what i saw”

his tired eyes had narrowed
sullen, sunken, lined in shadow
like a flower bending to a setting sun
john wondered if his time had finally come
his kudzu veins had hardened
ever since the drinking started
his life had been a quiet passing storm
john sought to leave his mark upon the world

tell us what you saw, john
clutching a pen in your trembling hand
oh, john, won’t you tell us what you saw
“i saw a beast with seven heads
a head for every emperor of rome
i saw a beast with a crown of h*rns
a crown of h*rns and a chandelier of jaws
i swear, i swear that’s what i saw”
