Jordaan Mason Lyrics

Gryffin

on Wild Dogs: Divorce!

We wed behind the old house,
offered our skin
Removed it from our branches,
and let it be curtains

And I asked him where he put the bones
And I asked her where she put the bones
They fed them to the horses

We shivered and kissed our linen loud
And held the holy spirit in our mouth
And my beard did break, when it found his face
And my beard did break, when it found her face

But there is still one light in one house
Far in fields from the city
One light is forest fire, left running in the pantry
One light is a campfire, in the living room for reptiles
Who promised they'll make new skin, between the wars at nightfall

Wild dogs, can I confess?
I never wanted this marriage
Coming home to wife and kids,
and failed science experiments

Tear down all the laundry lines,
Get the sickness out of me
Tear down all the laundry lines,
Get the sickness out of me

And we danced to Cecilia, like I did with my mother
Stomping loud, we filled the kitchen up with each other
We shaved our head clean and left off the lighthouse
Kept clothes for ransom
While he pulled the lakes out

And he confessed the grave digger,
shared with him his bed
And I pulled the telephone right out of his head
He quit his job, pulled his teeth, and moved down to the harbor
He stole all my money to pay for the lawyer

Now he's a whale killer in the wasteland for hire
He can only get it up when you set him on fire
And now my bashed head can't sew his blood on my back
We are broke for bricks, and the house is quiet

And I asked him where he put the bones
And I asked her where she put the bones
They fed them to the horses
