Capo 1


C E G D

          C                     E
there's a bulk of birds in your bonfire head
        G                 D
and you sleep with one eye open
        C               E
and you slice away your arms like bread
   G                D
to butter with your semen
         C                                 E
and your hair is knots of nooses you could strangle strange and lonely
G

carpenter, sleep gardens red
    D                 C E G D
and re-arrange your body


      C                E
because in the dark, we all sound the same
    G                         D
our bodies are blistered from needing
 C                    E
i made you a bed from pieces of my legs
    G                     D
and you sorely sat there, bleeding

C                               E
animal sister boy, could i have kept you
G                         D
is there a way of wood to protect you
C
sent from houses, stripped and cold
E                     G
i carried on my back: piano planks and forestry
   D
for shelter in your chest
C                            E
you are sores and red flesh, let's sleep again
G                               D                   C E G D
sin our way through secrets and cause all the violence


          C         Bm
and let's leave our bodies
      C           Bm
let's leave our bodies
          C                Bm
pull our "skin" from these "bones,"
          C                 Bm
and this "house" from these "homes"
