Califone Stepdaughter Lyrics

left out in the rain too long / there was not no glory to
re-live
all 3 fingers - all your limbs / pliable now as steam and
soft light
traded off when you were down / took it - on took it on
the story bitches and the scene don’t care / unraveling
now like steam and soft light
the cutter loses his nerve and turns away
the stepdaughter dissolves into the dark woods soundless mama take the pillow from under my head / stepdaughter
made my dying bed
left out in the rain too long / to marinate in steam and
soft light

the stepdaughter dissolves into the dark woods soundless
the cutter delivers an elk heart for false proof
bury me shallow and scratch out my name
i’d make every mistake all over again
