https://ditherer.bandcamp.com/album/the-closet-anthology Lyrics -------------- She said twenty minutes, she meant twenty minutes In the night-shade unlikely to get any business Peace-lily is at war with with herself Getting morbid as well, getting cornered for help By a small wallflower with a bleeding heart To check what all Fall sprouted in the seedy dark From her stalling all’s fountaining that’s bleak and stark And all her bawling calls countless in the demon park - life Garden calm, shadiness surround the shop Eldest gone now ladies pacing round the countertops Phasing into louder thoughts, facing it aloud and drop Safety is a sour promise mainly found in flowerpots Three beds empty as they watch those acres Lone saviors from matte black rot and rose chafers Keep eyes to the ground, nothing dire’s allowed Inside a hyacinth house Plucked from the road to her home and hovel Pressed in the pages of a romance novel Dancing in the starlight, mind getting soppy And the wildfire eyes eat her up like a poppy Raw in her closeness, claws onto rose hips Knowledge of home swift can call her to hold this Honestly hopeless, torn on the precipice Scorn at a pessimist - vaults on her own wish And she stutters I’ve got to go soon And he mutters Let me escort you Had their fill of caterwauling, but the scene goes on Measure glances at the night, should it be this long? If friendship ends the test, they’d be whistling impressed But for now all their tension needs dismissal in flesh And they don’t know whether to expect a knock or a ransom Something stalking for plants that wound up lost or abandoned A doctor or bandit, nighttime monstrous havoc Mind the author of phantoms, time is proper to panic Run a losing race, running as they do in place Sharing reassurances does nothing for a blooming ache Who can say? Night begins to fade, they question Bits might be in the safe, they’re afraid to check it Night-mares of resentment bite mares’ independence Eyes flared in a sentence, mite scared that she meant it Night air isn’t pleasant, quiet err for defenses Wise mare would’ve slept, a wise mare isn’t present
