Husk -

You were brave as a chessboard queen

But the shoe didn’t fit your feet

Cover the mouth of the Earth’s great cough

You can’t always get what you want

So you lie in the driveway snow

'Til you’re white as a bed sheet ghost

Bathed in the light of a star long dead

No one can tell how it ends

If you’re blind to love

Why don’t you say it, love?

It doesn’t amount to much

You’re a grail without the blood

If you’re blind to me

Why do you say you see?

Shouldn’t it always be

Clear to us?

Did you carve out a place in the world?

Were your white little bones of a bird

Crushed like a husk in the Great Deceiver’s mouth?

I hope it’s all working out

Cause if you’re blind to love

You shouldn’t try to love

It doesn’t amount to much

You’re a holy with no ghost

And if you’re blind to me

Why do you try to see?

Shouldn’t it always be

Obvious?

Proud like a hunter with a bow

Cowed like a prisoner below

I don’t sleep so well

I woke up here on the crowded seats of a bus

I was a husk
