lyrics

Grace-green is my outside,
my inside red red red
like a ribbon candy in a nest.

Hold fast, hold fast.

My skin so like a photosynthesizer
I sprout and lay my egg shell creases
down along the ground.
We all came from this dirt anyway.

Hold fast, hold fast.

Inside, outside, organ, shell-case,
seed pod, lung, vein,
stalk, ground, and sky.
Polarity still, still,
polarity prison.
Conjunction and escape,
these stitches are only made of tape.

Waxed and planted, contradiction
in stem and meaty self.
Do I need the nothing?
Ceaseless circumvention.

Hold fast, hold fast.
