Peacock In The Tall Grass

from Afar by Ice Choir

/

lyrics

His plumage deceived
My childhood dreams, blue-green
Pulled by a thread
Through time's riverbed, upstream
And as I mend the seam, he spills;
Flesh to steam

How I would haste these patient days
To know your verdant lawns
(You flaunt your shine, so pavonine)
But you run away, terrified
And now I cannot tell what's your's from mine
Or what i'll find

He thinks he is free but
My shadow, it hangs in the reeds
Once soft, supple limbs
Now taut with attentive greed
(And now i want your head, my quilled diadem)

A conscience bound and struggling
Once dazzled eyes, you've lost
(The glow, the beat, in self-deceit)
But you'd rather gag on the rime
Than share the hearth and watch the cold retreat
Upon receipt

With readied blade
My trembling future
In one hundred eyes

Could I rewind, I would trade it all
Just to chase you through
Soft pearls of dew
The warmth and hue…
