Purity Ring - Belispeak lyrics

Grandma, my sleep is narrow

That you bring me some strong drink

Strain out the pulps and set them close outside

For when my belly

For when my little belly speaks



Grandma, there's air beneath my bed

And it whispers

And it whispers when I rest

With hemmed skirts

And salt and vinegar, vinegar

And hover closely

Oh, hover closely underhead



Grandma, the water is rising

By now this hair has gotten green

I'll be your swimming forest island

When you walk safely, safely

Over me



Grandma, my hands have wondered

And my legs

My little legs are getting weak

Bed, lend me your wispy frame

And guard my powers

Guard my precious powers in its cage



Grandma, I've been unruly

In my dreams

And with my speech

Drill little holes into my eyelids

That I might see you

That I might see you when I sleep



Grandmother, the water is rising

By now this hair has gotten green

I'll be your swimming forest island

And you walk safely, safely

Over me



I'll be your swimming forest island
