Julienne

from Descent EP by The Mercury Tree

/

lyrics

rattling bus roll back to Astoria
carry my broken body home
where I’m laying down new tracks
and my old time friends are crawling back
down the vein, the very main line down
hand to head as raindrops run

julienne, cut me into shreds.
cut me into slices, lay me end to end till I reach the moon.
there is no release from you.
every piece of me imprinted with the letters spelling out the letters of the name julienne.

julienne, cut me into shreds.
cut me into slices, lay me end to end till I reach the moon.
there is no replacing you.
when I put the pieces all together they resemble nothing so much as your face once again.

julienne split open my head.
pull out every thought of everything we said that was never true.
in my epileptic view you are flashing in a thousand nameless colors paralyzing me within your grip till the end.

shimmering cloud of foolish euphoria,
cushion my brain against the blow.
push so hard against the wall that there’s
nowhere left for me to go
down the vein, the very main line down
hand to head as raindrops run red

julienne, cut me into shreds.
