The First Verb (Live Performance at Rockwood Music Hall) Lyrics by Grace McLean

2017

(Aaahhh, aaaahhhh, aaaahhh, aaaahhh)
My lover, he's the breath
Inside of my every exhale
Squeezing himself through all my pores
Docking himself at all my shores
I was scratching my eyes for lusting too long for the sky [?]
I had to hold my breath
I had to feel some death
I was clawing at the dirt
Feeling my blood leak into the earth [?]
That's when I felt the pain
That's when I heard her say [?]
My lover, he's a rover [?]
My lover sends his roots through me
Searching for a bit of moisture
With which to wash me clean
My lover wakes me up
My lovеr keeps me up to good [?]
By frothing my desire, bottling of what would bе no good [?]
Oh, oh, oh
If my body's over here, how come I know it's over there?
I can see it with my eyes
But everything is in disguise
If my body's over here
It's hard to know if I am down [?]
If this is all a mad illusion [?]
I've still got no, no proofing [?]
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
He's real! [?]
Whoaaaa, oh, oh, yeah!
But it's a little tough, [?]
And the body desires [?]
Oh, oh, yeah!
He's real! [?]
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Whoa, yeah....
Part of his life [?]
Whoa....
Now, I get to be
A part of a life
You close your eyes to see
And you feel pain's delight
And how you get to know
Is sitting at the feast
Now that your hunger's grown [?]
You do not feed the beast
And how you get to taste
The sweetness of his blood
You let your smiling face
Fall open bounds of mud [?]
And how you walk this path
All un-subdued in life [?]
You walk it, crawling 'round [?]
Like walking on a knife
And now you get to be
A part of the light!
You close your eyes to see
And feel pain's delight!
My lover, he's undercover
My lover hobbles all around
But stays just out of sight
Cupid is his alibi [?]
My lover, he's a parasite
My lover keeps me up at night
He whispers in my ear
Feeding me what I do not hear
My lover, he's the breath
Inside of my every exhale
Squeezing himself through all my pores
Docking himself at all my shores
My lover, he's the breath
Inside of my every exhale
Squeezing himself through all my pores
Docking himself at all my shores
