lyrics

Farewell to the dog at my back
Gone, gone, just like that
Sunk a blade into that golden fur
So long, so long, to what we were

Thought myself clever then
Girl messiah
Saviour of stunted men

Baby, you were cold out there
Dew drops in your hair
How the moonlight would burn your skin
Held you tight, took you in
Watched your nerves uncoil
With each moment, felt my belly boil

I am, always
(I am, I am)
Spoiling the fruit
(I am, I am)
Rotting it through
(I am, I am)
Soften and softening you

Hush now, there’s no need to fret
I’m here by your basinet
When I’m dry at every teat
Peel me back, use the meat

Oh you look so small
With nobody there to break your fall

I am, always
(I am, I am)
Spoiling the fruit
(I am, I am)
Rotting it through
(I am, I am)
Soften and softening you

I was lost there, for a minute, then
Couldn’t see my way through
From the background of a picture
Of you, of you

I’m not too proud to admit
That to be the hired help
Felt better than a single thing
I could do for myself

So honey, go ahead
Start the search anew
For someone who’ll make your bed
And forage all your food

You really got me out a bind, honey
You were a ready-built excuse
But the years roll by without us
And there’s only so much I can lose
