Fell by Rose Polenzani Lyrics

You can laugh all you want to
I don't care
Only one thing matters to me
And it isn't here
Like a happy, go-easy girl
I should've waited for those railing bells
They were only the rattling about
Of my ruined shell

What do I know about love?
I never could show myself
I lay down my cloud hung hopes
Wherever the first ones fell

I lit up to the tower
When you were last asleep
With the pigeons and cobwebs to cover
I kept my peace
But this terrible aching was rumbling
Through the stone floors
And I set out to howling
RESCUE ME!
What do I know about love?
I never could show myself
I lay down my cloud hung hopes
Wherever the first ones fell

Stammer away
Penny brigade
Hell sunk and fretless
And dancing
I played all my fears
Into alchemy's ears
And she's deaf to my
Every asking

Take this saturn-soft flesh
That I have smoothed over
Give it all up to gravel and grease
And hard labor
There were lovers who shone over me
Like to shame the very sun
But the thieves who would spit on my breast
Were the generous ones

What do I know about love?
I never could show myself
I lay down my cloud hung hopes
Wherever the first ones fell
