Mothers - Nesting Behavior Lyrics

nesting behavior

you've been giving me away to other men most things are born golden
until they start to notice
i was on your side
i gathered twigs between your eyelids until they fell between your eyelashes wove my hair into the bare places
and nested down for the evening
i preen my feathers
in the old milk that you shed for me i wear this dress of indifference and find it quite becoming
you say you need me now
shut your dirty mouth
when i was only a child
i sold my name for a small price
you've been giving me away you've been giving me away you always made it easy reminding me not to bloom
