carmen Lyrics by isobel
A cannibal in a coat
No gullet and no throat
Yet you swallow all of me
My cover, canopy, mine
Come to me, color me, cover me
Come to speak, call me weak, call me home
Come to me, color me, cover me
Come to speak, call it weak, let it roam
Come to me, color me, cover me
Come to speak, call me weak, call me home
Come to me, color me, cover me
Come to speak, call it weak, let it show
And give me the courage
To live alone
The name that I nourish
Turned into a poem
Come to me, color me, cover me
Come to speak, call me weak, call me home
Come to me, color me, cover me
Come to speak, call it weak, let it roam
(Come to me, color me, cover me) Can you give me the courage?
(Come to speak, call me weak, call me home) The belly’s split open
(Come to me, color me, cover me) So carve out the organs
(Come to speak, call it weak, let it show) And platter yourself for a feast
It’s yourself who’s the beast
So come to the place you’re from
And finish all of your crumbs
Recently, the rest of me’s a reticent recipe
Ravished and famished and fit for reactions to you
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah) Huh, am I connected to you?
‘Cause I’m sitting here restlessly, rotting quite endlessly
I’d rather you pester me, I’ll bite down to contest this blue
(Ha-ah) Is this a contest to you? (Ha-ah)
Where the winner will bite on the bullet and cut out the gullet
Which swallowed the poet and feast on a throat full of you
Ooh, I am no one but you
Butchered and blue, cut in two
I am you, I am new
And you, you are the hunt
Gaze to the front (To the front)
Face to the mutt (To the mutt)
Should the mouth of a glutton eat up the rot
When the head of its mutton is missing the teeth to chew?
So color me blue
My cover is you
No one but you
I am
