https://ditherer.bandcamp.com/album/the-closet-anthology Lyrics -------------- Last year she’d be done by now The stars fade and the sun comes out Last year she would stare at the wall and become profound And regale them and slumber down The void would leave if she’d choose to trade For the joie de vivre she used beaujolais Now her buzz falls off in the hue of day Sister already gone off to school, okay She’s got half what her work provides her And first things first, need a corpse reviver The hurt seems worse, need to nurse the cider She’ll lurch, eat dirt, and emerge survivor Curse her eyes and this ill-thought remedy Hides from the light and she’ll spill obscenities The sunrise is her gold stark enemy Far too bright, need four parts grenadine Night out not a triumph for finance But when the one man kissed her his eyes danced Yet an issue arose from a side-glance Later on left with a rose for the night land It’s a game and the first rule cites That life can only burn you the first few times Sighed and returned to her thirst ruled mind In the night been surfacing mirth through spite Mistakes are drunken, she plays them off If you want to join her company, take a shot No straight lines, need to course-correct Puttin dandelion wine down a horse’s neck SOMETHING in her head EACH DAY a new reason Crumbling and red, she breaks a few pieces Stumbling to bed, re-shake the juice eaten Mumbling to dead, we slake and loose demons Mom was a mess with a mass of blues Gotta form a request, get her past removed She’s bored, throat wet with the laughs and tunes And one too many deaths in the afternoon Berry got no jest in her attitude Put a sword through her chest when she pass the tomb She mourns, throat wet and she mask the gloom In one too many deaths in the afternoon (x2) Now she wakes up to a sobering noise And her sister looks down with the scorn in her voice It’s dark, made food that she sorta enjoys If for once sis doesn’t want to lord it, rejoice And after food, Berry’s handling the chores Pina went to bed and she’s standing at the door Hesitating, no, not abandoning her ward Just had a good rest and she’s shambling for more A dark red body with a note of the bitter And a heart set not upon the woes of a liver A sharp hint of acid long grown from within her Went astringent in the midst of all the woes in her center Pina’s doing better, never offered a drink A sister in the night is far too awful to think Berry married to her blood, got her thoughts indistinct She was airy in the sun, now she walks for the brink
