The Exorcist - CALYPSO

Bloody! Bloody!

Written and composed by: Rabbitology & "Pickel"
To my friends, to my city, and to the lyricist (Pickel) who wishes not to be credited but deserves it nonetheless...

LYRICS:
In the halflight, can you hear me calling all right, yeah

stickin’ are times in the 419
when the woods hung brown, pale but no sunshine
like  stickers on fruit we’d chew with nothing else to do

in her time before our prime,
a primed facade no we don’t mind
an abode for molding memories true 

oh, city the city, this city’s lined with something
the city, this city, she’s got something
city, the city, this city’s air is something
holy 

Calling lately, can you hear me, calling Maisie
Can hear me? Calling faintly—
A little weary, a little shaky, 
Can you blame me for going crazy!
Will the memories push on daisies?
Can you hear me, blurrin’ hazey
Can you hear me calling lately…

friendships last but scenes do pass
Soon meet again in the queen of glass
Refill what made us what we are

Souls together, worlds apart
Mind’s eye please remember our start
ground me in a realm now afar from here…

Calling lately, can you hear me, calling Maisie
Can hear me? Calling faintly—
A little weary, a little shaky, 
Can you blame me for going crazy!
Will the memories push on daisies?
Can you hear me, blurrin’ hazey
Can you hear me calling lately…

pourin’ wine on the flame of the 419
hard to understand how so sublime
how to ever reach that time, again?

Calling lately, can you hear me, calling Maisie
(Oh-i-o, Oh-i-o)
Can hear me? Calling faintly—
A little weary, a little shaky, 
Can you blame me for going crazy!
Will the memories push on daisies?
Can you hear me, blurrin’ hazey
Can you hear me calling lately…

Lyrics:
When you’re gone I feel alone again
The voices cannot hold my hand
They keep me company at very best
Distract me from my loneliness

Maybe I’m just an anomaly
Even my demons have their families
Truly something must be wrong with me
To need you as much as I do

I was never meant to win
I was never meant to win
I was never meant to win

Shut up!

Here’s the reigns
Take ahold of me
Please don’t let me go

You do the talking
Sew up my mouth if I can’t keep it closed

There’s a dog barking right around the block
And a big ol’ whistle blow

Run for it
I’ll keep em occupied for you
Cause I love you, I love you so

Left me hangin at the station
But you’ll be back for me soon

I’m ‘bout to die
Yet the only thing I find i'm worried about is you

Something tells me you aren’t coming
Guess that I’m truly doomed

I’m 'bout to die
Yet the only thing I find I’m worried about is you
I’m 'bout to die
Yet the thing on my mind seems to nearly be nothing but you

I overhear your brain when it’s close to mine
Oh, I know that we’re not the same
My heart’s on the line

I’m just a pawn in your game
Not your partner in crime

And you’re slowly killing me
Taking your time
You’re slowly killing me
Taking your time

You’re slowly killing me
Taking your- (I was never meant to win)
You’re slowly killing me
Taking your- (I was never meant to win)

You’re slowly killing me
And yet I don’t mind (You were never meant to win)
You’re slowly killing me
But please take your time

Partner in Crime

Lyrics:

One small sound
One small word 
In tongues all over the world
I said it
I said it 
One small word
I said it
I didn't
I said it
I didn't
Tongues all over

Can't pick them out
Can't press them in 
I'll never hide my scars
Can't pick them out
Can't press them in
I'll never hide my scars 
I'll never hide my scars 

One small sound
One small sight 
One unsheathed knife must glint 
In an alternate timeline's light
One rust-ridden blade juts out 
Of a friendly moonstruck shape
To tear, tear terribly, terribly
Tear, tear terribly 
The delicate crepe of night

Familiarity breeds
Indifference
Familiarity breeds discontent
Familiarity breeds
Indifference
Familiarity breeds discontent

My other time machine
A pungent, putrid brownish-green 
November smile 
Blandishing my two-timing door

One small sound
One small bite
One tomial tooth
One Loggerhead Shrike must skewer 
My invertebrate doppelgänger 
On barbed wire in a parallel universe 

My tongue parallelly bleeds 
One small drop 
In a monthful of blood 
In tongues all over the world
I said it, I didn't
It doesn't matter
What I said or didn't
Admit it
You were never going to get it
I was always gonna get it

Can't pick them out
Can't press them in 
I'll never hide my scars
Can't pick them out
Can't press them in
I'll never hide my
Familiarity breeds
Familiarity breeds

Not only is it thicker
Blood is stickier than water
Maybe that's relevant somehow
Can I explode now?

📜 Lyrics

♩

I can hear the song of the hartebeest
As their hooves drum to a hunger
I can sing a fear or a malady
As I drown deep in the wonder

Where do we go
When the river’s running slow
Where do we run
When the cats kill one by one

♩

Little rabbit
Little rabbit
Little rabbit

Hazel beneath our claws
While we wait for cerulean to cry
Unsettled ticks run through time
Enough for the hunt to go awry

Where do we go
When the river’s running slow
Where do we run
When the acres turn green and the cats kill one by one

♩

Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit 
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run

♩

Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run

♩

Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit 
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
