Ugly We Were Born

from Real Snow by Kye Alfred Hillig

/

lyrics

Q: "Heavenly gates, Oh! Don't you want me?
Don't you think I'd make a great slave?"
They've been making a wish to carry your casket
Down the river and far away

Throw your light through my open door-
Through my broken heart once more
& if it shines then we'll know for sure:
It's kind of ugly we were born-
We are born!

It's a matter of days without Viola
They brought her flowers: {hospital beds}
When the branches bloomed they thought they had her
But she went slipping right through the grates

A pack a day since the movies-
Since your sister showed you how
& if the backseat feels unfamiliar
Well, I'm sure you'll figure it out

They got carried away drinking Fridays
Like some revolver comes unglued
Beat about the face with bloody water
They can't wash you clean, but they'll strip you nude
