The Decemberists - Hurdles Even Here lyrics
[The Decemberists - Hurdles Even Here lyrics]
So it started in your ovaries
A stone, a seedling our bones entwined
A warning from the orderlies
A bulge for bleeding
This will take it's time
So it all ran down the telephone
And saw me clearly only nine years old
Calmly cast in Styrofoam in my Tony Lomas
When the shock takes hold
Mom, there are hurdles here
That I cannot seem to clear
Dad, there are demons ’round
I know I said that I
Said I’d be all right, I lied i lied
I lied i lied
So fix your brood and belly now
Til your sinews sweeten
And your veins retire
It’ll eat you from the inside out
Until it comes out screaming
Until it all falls away
Dad, there are hurdles here
That I cannot seem to clear
Mom, there are demons ’round
And though I said that I
Said I’d be all right, I lied i lied
I lied i lied
A stone, a seedling our bones entwined
A warning from the orderlies
A bulge for bleeding
This will take it's time
So it all ran down the telephone
And saw me clearly only nine years old
Calmly cast in Styrofoam in my Tony Lomas
When the shock takes hold
Mom, there are hurdles here
That I cannot seem to clear
Dad, there are demons ’round
I know I said that I
Said I’d be all right, I lied i lied
I lied i lied
So fix your brood and belly now
Til your sinews sweeten
And your veins retire
It’ll eat you from the inside out
Until it comes out screaming
Until it all falls away
Dad, there are hurdles here
That I cannot seem to clear
Mom, there are demons ’round
And though I said that I
Said I’d be all right, I lied i lied
I lied i lied
