An Angel
I'm the portrait, the parchment, the porn, the pen
You're the bottle, the bootlegger, born again
With one foot cleft in two, dividing seas
Where kestrels and calamities come in threes
An angel frowns and cuts the keys
I'm a worm, I'm a star that fell down from space
You're a nightmare of whirring wings, eyes without a face
We're the hail and the fire, dripping gore
Stripping nails at the door
With one hand on the hearts of cats and kings
The other draping darkness on Saturn's rings
An angel smiles and hooks its wings
Be not afraid; there is so much worse than this
With me you'll never have to fake a kiss
Be not afraid; there is so much thirst to come
Pray you endeavor not to leave a crumb
If you believe, babble on the edge and plunge
Bring bitter vinegar to soak your sponge
If you believe, scrabble through the hedge for me
But you might not endure the things you see
You're the bottle, the bootlegger, born again
With one foot cleft in two, dividing seas
Where kestrels and calamities come in threes
An angel frowns and cuts the keys
I'm a worm, I'm a star that fell down from space
You're a nightmare of whirring wings, eyes without a face
We're the hail and the fire, dripping gore
Stripping nails at the door
With one hand on the hearts of cats and kings
The other draping darkness on Saturn's rings
An angel smiles and hooks its wings
Be not afraid; there is so much worse than this
With me you'll never have to fake a kiss
Be not afraid; there is so much thirst to come
Pray you endeavor not to leave a crumb
If you believe, babble on the edge and plunge
Bring bitter vinegar to soak your sponge
If you believe, scrabble through the hedge for me
But you might not endure the things you see
