lyrics

A spell to draw you near,
etched into hardwood floors
with a silver knife,
a five-pointed star,
a circle drawn around.
Your toenail clippings, a feather
a puddle, a candle,
a clump of dirt
a feather, a puddle.
Flight, and floating, and
flame, and forest,
your toenail,
a spell.
The stars listen, silent.
Pick up the blade and kiss it.
Pierce the palm, and then
let it leak (again).
As above, so below.

Your toenail clippings, a feather
a puddle, a candle,
a clump of dirt
a feather, a puddle.
[INTERLUDE]
Your toenail clippings, a feather
a puddle, a candle,
a clump of dirt
a feather, a puddle.
Flight, and floating, and
flame, and forest,
your toenail,
a spell.
A moat of blood, a pentacle
flooded (scratched into the floor).
The stars whisper
(once more), the door
creaks, opens, shuts.
