We Have A Dog To Exercise

La Chambre D'Echo
Where Dead Birds Sing, 2004
Anna-Varney Cantodea

Track #8

When the old ghost of suicide
creeps slowly back into your mind,
then everything is bleak and blurred ... -
down here in the short-sighted world.
Yet, this time I have to insist
on the sharpness of the things I missed ... -
this once so loyal friend ..., he's not that welcome anymore.

White, fragile porcelain-boy,
some minor things shall be left unsaid,
yes, you share the strongest desire for beauty,
as like all the "enchanted" you
are more than blessed with it.

The boy is a prison-cell ... that like a child
needs to be washed and fed ... -
These are just two of the things that I have a tendency to forget.

The heavy smell of rotting flowers is
chanting through the prison doors,
We kiss the dying world goodbye ... and leave
it in good hands at the morque.

Well, on the second day of excavation,
tell me, what did you expect to find?
Be careful when you scratch the surface,
'cause we all have a dog to exercise.

We are not lovers, we are LIKERS ... -
We are merely hands and shake;
there are just FOUR from the list of the numberless things
of which we're still afraid.

We are not familiar with the state of (y)our decay,
Because this is not our line, it is not really our trade.
All we know is that our feet are cold
and that our sticky hands are wet -
and that we're here to bring you tidings
straight from the CHOIR OF THE DEAD.

Look at the boy ... oh, he really suffers,
he's caught in fear and its distress;
there's no point in looking at him for answers,
because he is a stranger here himself.

The body is a prison-cell
that like a child needs to be washed and fed ... -
there are just two of the things that I have a tendency to forget.

ANNA is feeling as a woman and we respect her, so we call HER "SHE"!

[disneygothprincess]

@taylorjanee1991 Anna is a woman. She is not an "it." Run a wikipedia search, it's not that complex...

And pooh, I misspelled shield in my previous comment... Sorry!

I've loved her music since I was about 14. Anna is the most incredibly inspiring artist, living her life with the creativity and personal integrity that always brings the most criticism, yet provides the best sheild against it. So much of my own artwork has come out of what I personally experience when I listen to her music that I can truthfully say I would not be the same person today without having experienced HER art. I just wish I could properly express my gratitude in person!
