Califone - Stepdaughter lyrics

left out in the rain too long / there was not no glory to

re-live

all 3 fingers - all your limbs / pliable now as

steam and soft light

traded off when you were down / took it

- on took it on

the story bitches and the scene don’t care /

unraveling now like steam and soft light

the cutter loses

his nerve and turns away

the stepdaughter dissolves into

the dark woods soundless

mama take the pillow from

under my head / stepdaughter made my dying bed

left out in

the rain too long / to marinate in steam and soft

light

the stepdaughter dissolves into the dark woods

soundless

the cutter delivers an elk heart for false

proof

bury me shallow and scratch out my name

i’d make

every mistake all over again
