Concubine (I and II) Lyrics

Cold bright moon

Yellow wallpaper

Your conscience doesn't stand a chance

Against your appetite

And all down the river

Oblivious hordes of cyclists

Made Satanic

By the glowing red reflections on their bikes

Past the homes for troubled girls

In this golden world

Crisis centers

Salted earth

Salted earth

Salted earth

She tries to scream

But flowers come out of her mouth

I float down

The Mississippi River

Into this thresher

They howl and they moan in pleasure

Just when you think that you've found your way out

Some fucker sticks their swollen black tongue in your mouth

The shimmering surface of the pool

They watch you drown

Dead crows whisper in the breeze

Dangling from the trees

And all that you've learned

Is what you already thought

But we can work out a deal

Because this happens a lot

And everybody will get

What everybody wants

And all that it costs is

As far from sleep as I've ever been

I wake with marks on my face

The hurtcore freaks are at the door

I know what you people take me for

And it never ends

This godforsaken place

I wake with marks on my chest

I hate this bed

I get undressed

The boy upstairs is bleeding bad

Violet lights another candle

The men up there call him a whore

I hear it through the floor

The girl across the hall has fuckmeat

Written on her chest

And gathered round

A thousand mouths

A thousand years of death

I float down wolf river

I float down

I float down wolf river
