Paroles de Milkweed / It Hangs Heavy

Hooked into me Like a burr A single thorn Anemic bond Seeping through nylon Leaking from under gloves Stuck in milkweed Hooked into me Like a burr A single thorn Anemic bond Seeping through nylon Leaking from under gloves Stuck in milkweed Fingers reach through the chasm To tug at my hem But I wear a robe Soaked in baptismal fluid Untarnished It hangs heavy Drapes like leather Clings like cellophane I wear a wreath of fire As a crown on my head It hangs heavy Sanctified Cuts like this Cuts like vinegar Purifies like bleach It hangs heavy Fingers reach through the chasm To tug at my hem But I wear a robe Soaked in baptismal fluid Untarnished It hangs heavy Drapes like leather Clings like cellophane I wear a wreath of fire Around my head It hangs heavy It hangs heavy Sanctified Cuts like vinegar Purifies like bleach
