Silence/Slain - Emily Jane White

Air tight

Is your cage

Hungry

Oh, for days

My lovely one

My lovely one

Silence

Of the slain

You call out

But it’s all in vain

My lovely one

My lovely one

Oh the blithe

Oh and the bain

And you rise like a siren that’s been slain

For you’re still hungry for this roughened gaze

But I am like the dawn light in your way

Oh tell, tell the truth

Was this book

Written for you?

My lovely one

My lovely one

Oh and the cry, and the pain

And you rise like bird, caged

And you’re still hungry for this roughened gaze

But I am like the dawn light in your way

Follow me, follow me, in the mirror, it’s not me

Follow me, follow me, in the mirror, it’s not me

Follow me, follow me, in the mirror, it’s not me
