lyrics

I command the sparrows
and the skunks and the rats and weeds
I listen to pierced arrows
there ain't nothing you can pin on me
I mask up when I leave and I don't know anyone
you ain't never seen me
and I don't know who you're trying to be

I can hunt in the daylight
but I can never get outta my stone
I can move the cursor
but I can't remove the curse all alone
I go out in the world when the night comes tumbling
you ain't never seen me
and I don't know who you're trying to be

I don't command nothing
but I imagine myself with the weeds
a witch in the lowlands
but I'm dreaming my way through poisoning leads
you ain't never seen me and I don't know what you are
I deny everything and I do it
before the daylight can shine through the screen

and when the night comes burning down through the breeze

I don't command nothing
but I imagine myself with the rats and the weeds
a one way alliance
go stepping through the lots in the night with me
I'm a wolf with a mask and I can't hear anything
over my rubber hide and a penchant
for bumping high amplitude low frequencies

out in the twilight
there's a spine in the heart of the weeds
a coward between worlds
making salve from names of the stories getting cleaved
you ain't never seen me and I don't know what you are
Do you know how the names got rigged? tell me
baby won't you whisper like a man for me?

underneath the midnight moon
got the names rigged up in the seams
a crack beneath the midnight moon
run a line thru the light for demands you can mean
I can see what you mean when you mourn for the nameless
charging up all your stones with the moon
taking sides with invisible war machines

when the night comes burning down thru the breeze
when the night comes burning down thru the breeze
when the night comes burning down thru the breeze
