about

lyrics

my companion in grief
we know that pleasure is brief
the length of an insect life
a spider in the night, a friend i don’t want by my side

eight eyes look at me
and they don’t know i’m alive
they don’t know what’s inside of me

little marie antoine lives in a box
tiny and intoxicated

everybody is gone
and though the party was long
it felt like it never arrived
all those kinds of pie, did you find out what’s inside?

why look at me?
i don’t know what i like
i don’t know what to try to be

little marie antoine lives in a box
tiny and inoculated

it’s meant to be handled
it’s meant to be loved
but it’s never enough
i’m friends with a dancer
and she takes off her gloves
in the middle of winter
the joint of her thumb
is dry on the number

of little marie antoine who lives in a box
tiny still and automated

at the close of the day
we will have nothing to say
i’ll reach out and shut the light
i've never seen you cry, but the silence is so nice

lie down with me
i don’t know what i like
i don’t know what’s inside of me

little marie antoine, our little talks
leave me dry and aggravated

we’re meant to be living
we’re meant to begin
the bruise on my shin —
i’m friends with a dancer
and she eases me in
at the end of the platform
the tilt of her chin
transfixes all comers

and little marie antoine lives in a box
tiny and intoxicated
