Ursa Major

lyrics

You are the matron saint of giving up. My God, you left us in the mud to the locusts, fires, and floods. Clutching my child like a cross, I’ll have to keep a constant watch not to give him what I got. I recall that you were crying on the bathroom floor; we only wished we could do more. You used us to find yourself. Well, what you sacrificed is broken, your youngest lost, your oldest choking. It is lost. You brought a man into our home, tore it down and built a hold devoid of life devoid of soul. You chewed him up until you were done. Is this what you’d teach your son? To love until you’ve had your fun? That marriage can be made undone? You used us to find yourself. Well, what you sacrificed is broken, your youngest lost, your oldest choking. It is lost. Children will drink all the wine that you give them. Is this what you want? Me drunk and alone? Look to the trees. They’re waving at me. “They’re not waving they’re drowning.”
