i have been listening to dear wormwood a LOT this week because im a weird autistic freak and im just in one of those phases where listening to it hits way harder. i need more people to appreciate this album NOW it's literally my favorite album ever. it has helped me get through some of the hardest times of my life and im being completely serious when i say that
when they said but i still taste you on my lips/lovely bitter water/the terrible fire of old regret is honey on my tongue and there beneath the willow tree/i learned a lot about the way of things/i learned that everything has breath inside and even when you hunt me with ire relentless/batter down my door when you find me defenseless/i will not abide all your raging and reaving/i have set my mind and my will, i am leaving and gather the soldiers, the heir to enfold/crown him and give him a scepter to hold and i will wait for this to end/the back and forth, about to end/for you at last to comprehend/the kind of love of which i speak and neither plague nor famine tempered my courage/nor did raids make me cower/but his translucent skin made me shiver deep within my bones and so bury me as it pleases you lover/at sea or deep within the catacomb/but these bones never rested while living/so how can they seek to languish in repose? and there will come a ruler whose brow is laid in thorn/smeared with oil like david's boy, oh lei oh lai oh lord and i have always known you, you have always been there in my mind/but now i understand you, and i will not be part of your design and where i go, will you still follow?/will you leave your shaded hollow?/will you greet the daylight looming?/ learn to grow without consuming?
