Strange Ways

Do you feel me?

Creeping down your street

Slow wheels turning

Turning

Maybe we're dreaming

Sages said we have no reason

Remember the figures on that morning

In the place of mourning

Sick outside your home

In such strange ways

Invoked under the floors

The procession sways

In flowers, I'm wreathed

Bleeding letter soaked in my teeth

Had you found a reason to leave?

To leave me

The pyre swells at my feet

I dig my woes up in the blistering heat

I would have trusted you if you'd let me

I felt the eyes there in waiting

I cleanse my skin

In the slow white burn

To forget the distrust

How you showed love

I cleanse my skin

In the slow white burn

To forget the distrust

How you showed love

I cleanse my skin

In the slow white burn

To forget the distrust

How you showed love

I cleanse my skin in the slow white burn

To forget the distrust how you showed love

In such strange ways, in such strange ways

Sick outside your home

In such strange ways

Invoked under the floors

The procession sways
