Hispid Hare

from These Golden Threads by Gun Mother

lyrics

Stay by my side
through the depth of the night
It is quiet and unburdened
and we shall know rest

We shall know rest
when the body transformed
Past the boundaries of lust
and the levees of pride

I’ve come to accept that
my hands are unclean
There are things that I’ve done
that I cannot redeem

I wanted to be free
of all of these things
So I gave up my body
and wandered alone

There is peace in the hole I have dug
In my dreams, I’m still king
of Jackrabbits

Some may venture but none will approach
In my dreams, I’m still king
of Jackrabbits

Free to scream with the moon
In my dreams as the king
of Jackrabbits
Here I have sworn to the drove

I love you so much
That it feels like a wound
And as we collide
we are bound to this room

And every experience
is bound to this room
I see 10,000 moments
but nary a home.

Nary a Home,
but too many caves
and too many fires
and too many shades

And just like the hare
who lives on the moon
I would give myself to your fire
and love you alone.

There is peace in the hole I have dug
In my dreams, I’m still king
of Jackrabbits

Some may venture but none will approach
In my dreams, I’m still king
of Jackrabbits

Free to scream with the moon
In my dreams as the king
of Jackrabbits
Here I have sworn to the drove

Run Rabbit Run

Give me your darkness
My darling, my dear
Give my your heartache
and give me your fear
Give me the outrage
that God disappeared
Give to me the solitude
that you found here

I’ll give you the moon
and throw myself on the flame
I’ll trade one unburdened evening
for a lifetime of chains
It is only a body,
It’s supposed to be dragged
through 10,00 moments
but nary the same.
