Once Anchorite Took it on All despite What you'd seen What it had done Now it's something You don't want Take Take the rope Hold it tight Don't let go Watch a fall Watch a land Watch it die Watch it stand Take From the night Give it back Run and hide Now At your door Uninvited Back for more With its fingers In your mouth The familiar On your tongue And its blood Under your skin Its intentions In your hands Take From the night Give it back Run and hide Take From the night Give it back Run and hide
