A Song That Crawls

Agents Of Oblivion

I am a brother to the dragon and a companion to owls.

My skin is black-upon me and my bones are burned with heat

[Jobs chapter 30 verses 29-30]



Little creeper in the shade

under my brain in caterpillars hundredth eye

under mushroom blouds in the rain

child i wrote your name in sparrows blood

upon a madhouse wall

I drug my belly cross the riverbed of skulls to sing

y'all

a song that crawls

that song that crawls

that song that crawl

when I spoke your name out loud again

I wondered when you'd bring

the rain back to me

I'm wondering had we ever really lived at all

When they closed the coffin lid on the tombstone

kid gonna sing you

a song that crawls,

a song that crawls
