Lepidoptera Vows Lyrics

Vanishing ink blooms on ketubah vellum

Your signature festers like wing-case patterns

Greenhouse lungs sweat contratto deliquesce

Groom's cufflinks tarnish to chrysalis residue

Lepidoptera vows dissolve on my tongue (molten)

Nuptial cocoons split before they're spun

Dovetails escape through stained glass lungs

Your elytra clasp what the eclipse undone

(oh)

Silk-spool aisle unravels through formaldehyde mist

Veil grafts fail where the thorax twists

Mandible pearls crack the champagne frost

My gilded antennae probe love's necropolis

Lepidoptera vows dissolve on my tongue (molten)

Nuptial cocoons split before they're spun

Dovetails escape through stained glass lungs

Your elytra clasp what the eclipse undone

Pallor procession through Botanicorpus

Flower-crown electrodes discharge in us

Iris-wings bruise as the alter dissolves

Thermocline hymns crack like eggshell lace

(descend)

Duet with echo through formaldehyde glaze

Lepidoptera vows effloresce then drown (album)

Compound eyes track vows spiraling down

Ommatidia flare with expired renown

My pinned reflection sings the specimen's sound

Wing-case ossifies where your breath withdrew

Xylene tides lap what we'll never renew

Amber's slow applause entombs our residue
