Owls Lyrics

Suspicions deflect with her charm and emotional depth

Gin was a poison you'd never quite smell on her breath

And I

Skip through the apple orchard hand in hand

Follow the serpent's path with contraband

She'll let me in once again

I try, I try

In groves where the wormwood owls call she'd have me observe

She'd wring at her cloth as to wring at the necks of the birds

They'd die

Ferociously yelping out a horrid sound

Ancestors in my mind calling "let her out"

But she'll keep me in once again

I try, I try

Seething with hard love and hatred I'd lay in my bed

She'd call me upstairs to recite all the thoughts in my head

I cried

She was a lure of which I was ensnared

From birth she could read my mind and kept me there

But I'll let her in once again

Or I'll try, or I'll try
