about

In memory of the late Liz Stan Blake

lyrics

Lay me down to sleep below the purple flowers
I’ve walked the crooked path back home
Where minutes turn to hours
The ghost of your skin still kiss my fingertips
As much as those words I spat still stain my lips

Leave with me when you go
Forgive me
I dug myself a hole when I was looking for a home.

You’ll forgive me tomorrow
But that won’t make it right
I’d rather dig myself a grave beneath the gentle starlight
I’ll leave one can in the casket
And another at my grave
Strings woven of lust and love
You can sing me back all the mistakes I’ve made

Leave with me when you go
Forgive me
I dug myself a hole when I was looking for a home.

A fistful of purple flowers
A sickeningly simple bitter sweet hymn
Lamenting every hour
I spent memorizing the currents between your bones
And the hollow spaces that ache
Leaving purple flowers for this heart break

Leave with me when you go
Forgive me
I dug myself a hole when I was looking for a home.
