about

Magali grows. Magali acquires marks.

lyrics

There were marks, they did not see. In the daylight, beneath the lamplight.
There were marks inside of me, tracing fault lines, fissures and track lines
Marks inside of me.
There were things I could not feel. This skin is stretched tight numb and unable to conceal, blackbirds and eels. Pointed beak strikes, needle teeth bite
Deep inside of me
Chorus
And out flew the blackbird, up swam the eel
And out flew the blackbird, up swam the eel
Needle pulling red, with this needle we are wed you and I
Needle pulling red, with this needle we are wed you and I
There were things I could not see. Eyelids as blindfolds, shut tight and forced to grow like weeds, beneath the trees.
Greedy and upright, shadows cast by night lights. Things I couldn't see.
There were things they could not touch. Locked down deep within, hidden beneath translucent skin, wing tips and fins. The bits and pieces, not torn to pieces. Pieces from within.
