Jenny Hval
Song of Pearl
[Intro]
With a howl in her chest
And a pearl on her tongue
She teaches me how
To web my fingers

[Verse 1]
Sew me back into her mouth
Make me a seashell
Strung with silken threads

[Verse 2]
I push a coffin through her lips
In the pearl, she engraves my face
(I will inhabit her, but not yet
She says: not yet)

[Chorus]
But in the dark trenches
My marbles roll in
My water lilies float
My bear claws hum

[Post-Chorus]
I carefully undo her anchored
Anchored lips
[Outro]
Take me to her I say
Throw me back into her mouth
Seashells strung with silken threads
Back into her mouth
