To Love as Aswang by Barbara Jane Reyes Lyrics
TO LOVE AN ASWANG
With razorblade eyes/ The Filipina is most sincere
With too much water/ And will make a very good wife.
With animal teeth/ The Filipina is a loyal partner,
We sometimes kill / Deserving of all your love.
With splintered hands/ The Filipina is the total package,
With too much life/ Much more than meets the eye.
With ribcage unlocked/ The Filipina is not for you,
We wither your roots/ If you cannot handle her claws.
With razorblade eyes/ The Filipina is most sincere
With too much water/ And will make a very good wife.
With animal teeth/ The Filipina is a loyal partner,
We sometimes kill / Deserving of all your love.
With splintered hands/ The Filipina is the total package,
With too much life/ Much more than meets the eye.
With ribcage unlocked/ The Filipina is not for you,
We wither your roots/ If you cannot handle her claws.
