I: Ferocious Body Lyrics

Born Gold I: Ferocious Body

Oh, will you say I'm old
You ferocious body?
Inside this cruel winter's digits
How did you hide your fever?

Hiss like black wasps

Above the crest
Of thighs slumbering half-shut
Your white wide-open eyes

Hiss like black wasps

I couldn't shake
The sense we were just circumstance
I couldn't shake
The ashes from your cigarette

Oh, will you say I'm old
With a weakling's fever?

Oh, will you say I'm old?
