PhemieC - The Gods Must Be Lying lyrics

There’s a boy here lying quiet in
My shadow like a prayer
He drips from every angle into
Colours that I wear he wanders like a saint
On predatory pilgrimage
With a grimace and a limp he
Puts his wrist against my cartilage

And I could separate these bones
I could pack them into prose
Or I could hold a cancer in
My soul until it overflows
But there is only boy and breath
Gentle handprints on my chest
Mouthing little darling, deepest
Loveliest of sacrilege
This boy of filth, he’s born of Gods
He clutches at my flaws
He drags me from my holocaust
He takes my limbs, he wraps them around him
He takes my shake and takes my sick
And feeds me bread and then

These violent wall eyed dreams
That mite their way
Into my fear of me and mine
These wines and sugars in my blood
They mutter "Take your claws and climb
The inch of every pale moon love
You once swore you’d pay nevermind"
When I am on the side of you
I’d say my gods were always lying lying

There’s a girl pacing around me
Proselytizing parasite her sick
Acidic logic ridicules the ancient rite
And when her teeth break up on
Me like tiny cliffs of chalk
I crash into her canyon
Lick the injuries she likes to mock

And I could cut her down to size
It’s half as hard as compromise
Or I could watch a blind sleepwalker
Creep all sweet and none-the-wise
But there is only girl and grin
Curling up under my skin
Picture you and I forgetting why
We let the other in

This judge of what, she’s born of mud
She answers to no blood
She will not let me chew the cud
She spit's and swells
She wears her wretched well
She holds my soul with taxes, tolls
And takes it straight to hell

These violent wall eyed dreams
That mite their way
Into my fear of me and mine
These wines and sugars in my blood
They mutter "Take your claws and climb
The inch of every rotten hate
I once swore I’d pay nevermind!"
When I am on the side of you
You’d say your law was always lying
Your law, it must be lying
My Gods, they must be lying lying
