Mistreated Eye


Mistreated Eye
Play

This song originated in free writing sessions, dredging up subconscious sludge from infancy and early childhood.

I’ve experimented here a bit with vocal modulation, dynamic drumming and a bit of tenor sax mixed with the lovely sounds of angry machines.

Lyrics:

a baby sings
his boiling body broken
all alone
in a sterile room

almost there
he surrenders
afraid
to wake up drowning

Chorus

raw and sore
he watches
flower laden agony
bees buzz

little baby body
clacking

angry throat
burns and wheezes

Chorus

a broken faerie
bounces blithely
hypnotized
full of needles

time to leave
without mommy
poke voodoo dolls
in fever dreams

meager bird sings
wondering
mistreated eye
watches nonsense

Chorus:

breathe
drain
burn
leave
