The Nylon Lion Attacks As Kingdom Lyrics - Singles - Current 93

I am leaving when the leaves fall 

I am returning when the eyes open 

I am hidden when the eyes close 

I am between lips and lids 

My murder shuts quiet 

His sheets are shadows in the water 

And the histories are full of blinking 

And blurs 

I am hidden when the inken bird covers 

My youth and my back 

I was not there for you in the panic 

I was not there as the kitten died 

And I take this home with me 

I swallow your pain and stick blood into me 

Suck moss and needles, the faces of burrs 

The methodical false twilight 

And the gossip poured love like greedy beads 

Like mirrors I am your face 

In the toilet in the kittenchen 

On the glassblue sea the birds see 

I am your mirror 

Your echo is me 

In bells and birds that beauty I saw 

Etched in clouds trailing 

Making curtains of waves 

The broken face peeps 

He echoes "I am echo" 

I see you monster 

I see you monster 

My back and jaw hunch and feel 

You there 

You are the cuckoo, the train, the muffled drum 

You say, "I am echo 

I am cleaner of floors 

Sower of sores" 

And policeman in brambles and bubbles 

Call the beauty to rest 

Say, "I am echo" 

And rise with peacocks 

Feral and horizon 

The beauty moved over me 

And the beauty crashed down over my body 

With wine and dreams creeping down from the bookcases 

And saying "I am echo; I am you; speak me; release me; 

Kill me and leave the cat to G+D and rain and pussy willows" 

Falling like paws and snowing tears and the voice Shuts silent liar
