lyrics

Ouroboros, make me real
Ouroboros, there's wounds to heal
Round and round and round we go
Spinning wheels, it's all for show

Hammered copper, melted gold
Pour me in a caster, I will mold
Malleable, pliable, I'm marble to your touch
Just wrap me round, wrap me round your finger
I don't ask for much

I am eating my own tail
Say what you will, I don't care
In my mind's-eye you are fading
Deep-seated beliefs lie in waiting
Sucking honeysuckle from the hanging tree

If I hold a little longer,
Keep on waiting,
Self-flagellating
Would it be the thing to bring you home?
But I won't pray to a hateful god
So why bend my knees to starve off that love?

Yes, I'm angry
I am flawed
You hang your flypaper and I get caught
As if there was nothing worse for a woman to be
You say I've got too many words,
Too verbose to keep this afloat
And you, who wouldn't say shit if you had your mouth full of it

Ouroboros, make me real
Ouroboros, there's rooms to fill
Round and round and round we go
Spinning wheels til we get our fill
