Ruby Giants

Picture me somewhere where I don't have to make up my scars for you
And we could lie down in all our liberty
Picture me somewhere where I, I could still drive to you
And let our skin rot out in the artificial heat...

But last night I watched you turn into her
And now I don't know who I'm talking to
So what's another 12 or 15 more songs to "you"?

(O! compress me and tonicize me
O! and call me your baby as you fuck me
O! compress me and tonicize me
And call me your baby as you fuck me
Compress me and tonicize me
And call me your baby as you fuck me
O! compress me and tonicize me
O! and call me your baby as you fuck me)

So, darlin', build me a window over breakfast
And darlin', write me a poem I could sing!

I used to be the paradigm
Now I'm standing on a stepstool
Peeking through a garden-level window

I haven't opened my ultrathin reference bible in a long time
Oh, not since my skin's grown pale and hairless

Pink and orange sunset
Kept me warm and kept me golden
Last time I saw it, it dug into my own skin
And I got the scars to prove it, lord, amen

"I hope that my voice never comes back
And these scars last forever"

Suck the weight out of me
And make me your diamond
Tell me I'd be more healthy
It goes on forever and ever and ever

And suck the worry out of me
And make me your dream girl
Feed me dependency
It goes on forever and ever and ever

But what could it mean to me
If we were separated?
Who would feed me the agency
To go on forever and ever and ever?
Forever and ever and ever...

Picture me somewhere where I don't have to make up my scars for you
My love's defined by my own stability!
Picture me somewhere where I, I could still drive to you
My love's defined by my boundless agency!

Now ruby giants tower over
Tell me we made it through november
And I've got those scars too
Lord
"Amen"
