Do You Know Me Now?

And if you think you knew me then You don't know me now As the ground rose up to meet me I kissed your mouth You wore your boredom like an armor But I tuned you out And if that brought us to our knees We laughed all the way down I prized my daddy's ring from my hand And I made a bride We grew a flower in the desert We grew terrified We were one, not one and the same Something was lost somehow And if you think you knew me then You don't know me now The planets high above you Spun in houses of their own You were dropped and hit the ground running But they failed to lead you home And if you think you knew me then Do you know me now? I drew a child inside a womb Justified myself I stole the face of joy, the perfume of wealth I atomised the boy within before he cut himself You found the blood upon my clothes And you washed it out And if you think you knew me then You don't know me now There were children in the classroom Erected without a nail There were hornets in the heads of cattle That vibrated to the sound You cried wolf I tracked one down and let it in There were lambs, sure there was blood There were psalms to sing You could just see the bone jut out Penetrate the skin Did it dispel beyond all doubt the mess we're in? You raised your head I stared you down You still don't know how And if you think you knew me then You don't know me now I was happy, satiated I was satisfied
