forwards beckon rebound - Adrianne Lenker

Over the Dead Sea

Keeping you company

Thinking, «I'm not afraid of you now

I’m not afraid of you now»

Letting my eyes close

Shedding my soft clothes

Wind blows

Wind that howls like a hound

Wind that laughs like a clown

Mystery of lack

Stabbing stars through my back

Forwards, beckon, rebound

Forwards, beckon, rebound

Virtual bedroom

Rise like a full moon

Show me pictures that hang in your house

Pictures that hang in your mouth

Candescent insects

Crosses and fishnecks

I have nothing to pray to you now

Nothing to pray to you now

Mystery of lack

Stabbing stars through my back

Forwards, beckon, rebound

Forwards, beckon, rebound

Pulling your face close, wanting the inmost

Show me

I’m not afraid of you now

I’m not afraid of you now

Villain and violent, infant and innocent

Baby, both arms cradle you now

Both arms cradle you now

Mystery of lack

Stabbing stars through my back

Forwards, beckon, rebound

Forwards, beckon, rebound

Forwards, beckon, rebound
