Ani Difranco - The Slant Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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 Im wondering why this fear of men
  • Maybe its because Im hungry
  • And like a baby Im 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 havent seen
