Clawhammer

from EP II by Bannerman

/

lyrics

I always thought I was squeamish
And I was proved right
On the rooftop it stood there pointing
This won’t end well
And as I turned, it was there again

Man dies by living
So it goes
I crossed that faceless spirit
And it took all my thoughts while I was dreaming
I lost every one
Catatonia

Whatever this thing was
It knew that I would never wake up
And now…

A strange fog wraps my shoulders
And I am beguiled
I move like whores with ribbons
This world is wild
And I was meant to breathe it in under lock and key
So there it is

There are sixteen guards standing over my bed
With a clawhammer, every one
And not a word
