i like the devil

Mother laid her elbows on the bed
 Whispering her wishes to the threads
 Weaving in the weight of all our dread
 Wiping up the stains of our regret
 Heal her hands by kneading up the bread
 Cleaning off her fingers as she wept
 Lurk within her gleaming silhouette
 Then seal in our wonder to ferment
 I, like the devil, can fly
 And I read her sweet mind last night
 And I, like God, can fly
 And I held a candle over her frightened
 ♪
 What is happiness but a word?
 Spoken from on high for what it's worth
 Flown beneath the wings of little birds
 But I have felt the wind crawl where we're cursed
 Find us in the folded parts she pressed
 Lying in positions like we've slept
 Find us in the hallows of her chest
 Lying in positions like we've slept

 I, like the devil, can fly

 I, like the devil, can fly
