Queen of the Bleached-Bone Scene

from Mump by The Tomorrow File

about

Inspired by the novel "Crime & Punishment."

lyrics

Build me a ship
And I'll sail it in effigy
On a lead gray sea
With the waves washing over me I'm lost

I'm a blank disenchanter
Drinking from a bone decantur
Wondering at the crucifix
Broken, my faith unclicks

Should I sail out from the west?
Would my mother shame me, knee bent?
All I need is to be thoughtless
Like a hatchet and a broken hope chest

You lose what you set out to find
When you kill the strange thoughts in your mind
Never let them go

Go face the Queen of the Bleached Bone Scene
She always says what she means
And I'm alone in the frost
Of my Petersburgh lost
