Yes Artemis - Krys Cannon, Seeming

You ain’t a myth no more to me

We make a cold reality

We’ll take a hatchet to the tree

Yes Artemis

We’re still part of this

We’re still part of this life after life after life

Science don’t care once we breed

It’s got no grand poetic need

We’re just a husk to spit the seed

Yes Artemis

Now the heart of this

Long postpartum is life after life after life

We’re gonna find the door behind the door

The sound within the sound

The wind that moves the wind

'Cause we’re still hangin' round

We’re gonna find the fire that makes the fire

The knife that shapes the knife

Yes Artemis, it’s not hard, it’s just

Finding the start of this life after life after life

Let’s watch from high up in the leaves

Let’s stake the fierce extremities

Let’s strike the artery of the beast

Yes Artemis

We’re still part of this

We’re still part of this life after life after life

And we’re not looking for release

But crawling deeper in the crease

Collecting scabs upon our knees

Yes Artemis

Bless the guard of this

Prison yard of this life after life after life

We’re gonna find the door behind the door

The sound within the sound

The wind that moves the wind

'Cause we’re still hangin' round

We’re gonna find the fire that makes the fire

The knife that shapes the knife

Yes Artemis, it’s not hard, it’s just

Finding the start of this life after life after life

In the undergrowth

In all that I don’t know

A kiss that never ends

A kiss unscriptable

I’ll be the animal

That is too real to kill

I will outrun the world

By crouching low and still

Do you feel pleasure and pride and the will to survive?

Send the boar for you

Send the boar for you

And the salesmen who seize upon tidy ideas

Send the boar for you

Send the boar for you

And an arrow through the head

A literal arrow through the head

(You ain’t a myth no more)

Yes Artemis

West winds bark and hiss

Crest these carcasses

Resting harmless and

Yes Artemis

Clear this artifice

We’re the darkest

Among these harvested

Yes Artemis

Dressed in armistice

Time will march and

Arrest our heartlessness

Yes Artemis

Yes Artemis

We’re gonna find the door behind the door

The sound within the sound

The wind that moves the wind

'Cause we’re still hangin' round

We’re gonna find the fire that makes the fire

The knife that shapes the knife

Yes Artemis, it’s not hard, it’s just

Finding the start of this life after life after life
