Mites Lyrics by Squalloscope

Weightbearer

2022

[Verse 1]
The ringing of absence overpowers every song
Stab my ears with toothpicks to unhear
The prima ballerina twirls into my unknown
Wearing ragged camouflage
To ring in the new year
I unbelong
In the house I burned frankincense
Didn't sing a single song
Of the sweet traditionals tied up with rope in a mouldy back room
I swallow my way through dinner
Fished from the poisoned well
I feed myself from it daily
I know exactly what's rotten in there
I unbelong

[Chorus]
You would think either you're alive or you're not (you're not, you're not, you're not)
And you can't just pick a side and feed the doubts to the dogs
I've been crying myself a beautiful fog
There are mites in my beehive and they've taken all I got

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
I've always been a scab-picking, finger-licking
Pocket-slicing, nickel-dropping, floor-crawling
Ear-to-the-ground kind of girl
I scrutinise (Scrutinise) the body, it keeps getting caught up in (Scrutinise)
Love and worship, fishnet, harness, pyramid schemes (Scrutinise)
I am building it a tomb out of TV ads and doom (Scrutinise)
You may seal it with a little spit and a smile (Scrutinise)
I can offer you a spot where my pillow's drenched in snot (Scrutinise)
Just let me scoot over a little to the side
Wish I was a lock-picking, finger-sticking
Socket-touching, core-fucking, years-lost-to-death-
And-then-found kind of girl
I monetise the wreck, from the toes up to the neck
I'm barely moving, yet somehow still a blur

[Chorus]
You would think either you're alive or you're not (you're not, you're not, you're not)
And you can't just pick a side and feed the doubts to the dogs
I've been crying myself a beautiful fog
There are mites in my beehive and they've taken all I got
