lyrics

THE WITHERLING

I have been liar and thief
I have been Sinner-in-Chief
I have been raped by the night
And yet, I hide from the light

Monster, I am clad in your apron
Swathed in blotches of black
I am noose to the rope that binds you
Tourniquet to the needle that devours you

I have been gust, womb and storm
I have been murderer of whores
I have been soiled by serpents
And here, I drown in currents

Vincent, I am Sien to your earlobe choir
As I dance with men, and am ravished by them
I am noose to the rope that binds you
Tourniquet to the needle that devours you

Husband, please--
Turn away.
