lyrics

I’ve become an alley cat with my
Skin gone and knives in my hand
Sullying a field lit by reflections off of fruit flies
Twitching transmissions turning to sweat in the land

The dirt of my home seeps into my pores
Pouring poor light through the slats in the roof
The softest fur swindles all the dust from the air
And my small form can barely move
Can barely move

I spearhead a near-dead mouse under my claws
Tearing guts from neutrality, its eyes never change
I question fate as a questing snake wriggles to my side
And I let it add to my meal when it's in range
When it's in range

In white light I shudder and stare wild-eyed
Please spare me I'm just a child, I cried
But food and warmth found me before
The storms of winter could adorn me with snow (x2)
Snow

In a stalking cavalcade my graying brother
Helps me in the act of slaying a fruit fly
Before I curl in the bed with my love

I can do more with my life now than wait to die (x2)

In white light I shudder and stare wild-eyed
Please spare me I'm just a child, I cried
But food and warmth found me before
The storms of winter could adorn me with snow (x2)
Snow
