Bend Your Knees Lyrics by James Vincent McMorrow

True Care

2017

What is it that I want?
How long is it that I want it?
Met you first, fifth of August
End of May, 2064
Bend your knees in the forest
Bend your knees when you crawl inside
You believed I was flawless
I believe
That the only
Way it's ever gonna stop
Is when desperation grows
So I point out
All the places on the map
Where there's fragrant lemon groves
Don't forget that
Everything is fake here
Built for face and all for show
Place a shoulder
Deeper in the corner
And the whole thing takes the floor
It's original
To pray for sudden death
Original
I wear your summer dress
I'm nostalgic for life that
I'm not sure was ever even mine
Did I fix up houses weekends?
Was I a house painter, weekend I
Driving cars out of Egypt
Egyptian car driver animal
Love it best when it's weakest
Love you best then
By the water
Tower physical
Is the ransom cost of rain
Every autumn
Is a little shorter
Every nape provides a name
It's prophetic
Semper with the panic
And it absolutely moves
I'm more heinous, pointless and more famous
Than a single family room
It's original
To pray for sudden death
Original
I wear your summer dress
And though we're naked
We're still difficult to find
From a pine and needle tree
As a concept, it's an empty one
Not a substance of belief
Then as nothing
I reclaim as nothing
Bear the canyon absolutely
It's lurching how much I'm reminded
There's a cost of absolution
It's original
To pray for sudden death
Original
I wear your summer dress
I remember it all
I never could forget
Not reaching up
It's stapled on my back
Not reaching up
Not reaching up
