lyrics

Yawn away, little abyss
Your cold breath on my neck
Come on and give me a kiss
Give me a scare
Pucker up
Cause I can go as deep as you like

I’ve antagonised Madam and I don’t know how to fix it
Making my life hell till I say Mademoiselle
And drop my chin or she’ll melt my skin to liquid
The lady’s malaise needs a bandaid
And if she treats the wound then who is gonna lick it?

When it hauls and hurts
Till you think your soul will rip
Baby got the bruise
From THE ÆTERNAL FIST

Can you hear yourself?
No you don’t want what you wish
Baby got the bruise
From THE ÆTERNAL FIST

Doctor diagnosed bite marks on the lady’s lily ankle
And such an ominous bruise I guess you've got to accuse
Anybody fool enough to still look tranquil
Not a thing in her room doesn’t implicate doom
And no one checks the metal buckle on her sandal

When it hauls and hurts
Till you think your soul will rip
Baby got the bruise
From THE ÆTERNAL FIST

Can you hear yourself?
No you don’t want what you wish
Baby got the bruise
From THE ÆTERNAL FIST

It’s incomparable
Nothing this-er than this
The centre of sense, the sheer elements of invisible bliss
The indivisible abyss
and the divinity of it
Put your finger in the middle and it’ll centrifuge your body to bits

Call my name, little abyss
I do like the bright lights
There isn’t much I resist
As a matter of principle
And I can see
Galaxies inside the darkness

When it hauls and hurts
Till you think your soul will rip
Baby got the bruise
From THE ÆTERNAL FIST

And you’re overwhelmed
In a cosmos full of shit
May I introduce
THE ÆTERNAL FIST

Yeah the universe doesn’t get that punching up exists
Still, you’re not excused
From THE ÆTERNAL FIST

Can you hear yourself?
No you don’t want what you wish
Baby got the bruise
From THE ÆTERNAL FIST

I've been banished from the circle but I can’t say that I miss it
With desperate curses from a tepid Circe
Too disconcerted to commit to being wicked
The firmament is such a lovely tent
And I can’t resent a single thing within it

So yawn away, little abyss
Your cold breath on my neck
Come on and give me a kiss
Give me a scare
Pucker up
Cause I can go as deep as you like
