Behemoth lyrics
by MARINA
All the tears, sweat, blood
that went into building you
Terrazzo from Italy
ceramic slipper baths
Yellow zellige tiles
happy like California
to erase the deep blues
from our bitter aftermath
Walls dabbed carefully
in soft roman clay
in deep earthy tones
to elicit “OK”
To elicit inner peace
clear skin, good health
To evoke that fine line
between nature and wealth
Sparkling cyan pool
that I swam in 10 times
Teak loungers I so rarely
relaxed out upon
“There’s not enough sun”
“Takes one day to heat it”
“This canyon is shady…”
“THIS CANYON’S A POND!”
Had something to do
with the bones, dna
The structure, the heart
the lack of proper veins
I know we don’t fit but
you’re hard to give away
You were once so adored
You were something I saved
All the dreams I un-birthed
All of our unlived lives
And the real sunken cost
of just how hard I had tried
The idea still stings
But I let the house win
Behemoth of my heart
Goodbye is the right thing
