Lyrics for The Slant by Ani Difranco:
| | | Artist: | Ani Difranco |
| | Album: | Ani Difranco | | Track: | The Slant | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 75 | | | | Lyrics: | the slant
a building settling around me
my figure female framed crookedly
in
the threshold
of the room
door scraping floorboards
with every opening
/>
carving a rough history
of bedroom scenes
the plot hard to follow
the text
obscured
in the fields of sheets
slowly gathering the stains
of seasons spent
lying there
red and brown
like leaves fallen
the colors of an eternal cycle
/>
fading with the
wash cycle
and the rinse cycle
again an unfamiliar smell
/>
like my name misspelled
or misspoken
a cycle broken
the sound of them
strong
stalking talking about their prey
like the way hammer meets nail
/>
pounding, they say
pounding out the rhythms of attraction
like a woman was a drum
like a body was a weapon
like there was something more they wanted
than the journey
/>
like it was owed to them
steel toed they walk
and i'm wondering why this fear of
men
maybe it's because i'm hungry
and like a baby i'm dependent on them
to feed
me
i am a work in progress
dressed in the fabric of a world unfolding
offering
me intricte patterns of questions
rhythms that never come clean
and strengths that you
still haven't seen | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
