Homeopathic by Mariee Sioux Lyrics

Beastly ball of fire all rolling in shame
A rattlesnake in the nest
No legs, no eggs, no blame
You hold a lake in each hand
One is for skating on, one for drowning in
There's frozen wings in your bed
As you sleep outlined in white ghost
Like your soul been rolling in sheep
Or had been wrapped up in birch bark
Like a gift for the end when it finally finds me

A mummy tree woman
Becoming
Mummy tree women
Scream
Screamin'
Screamin'
Homeopathic
Stereostatic
Heroes in helmets
Hummingbirds swarm the attic
Trying so hard to explain
But I can speak only in wool
Might I knit from this mouth a train of cool water?
For almonds I have seen your eyes
So delicate your light
Like a toothless bite
Alien and as humble as a newt
So sweet you almost killed me
Like poisonous honey

Mummy tree woman
Becoming
Mummy tree women
Scream
Screamin'
Screamin'
Homeopathic
Stereostatic
Heroes in helmets
Hummingbirds swarm the attic

Beautifully bruised when it kicked you with its hooves
A headless stallion the color of a black rose
A mole chews vigorously at my side
While smoldering like a burning insect
Innards have dried into wreaths and rattles
Let’s meet at the Madrone's cradle
Making landscapes out of felt
We will learn about
Succession
Succession
When a pond turns to a meadow
A fawn into a raven
A pond into a meadow
A fawn into a raven
Oh, Raven
Oh, Raven
Oh, Raven
Oh, Raven
