My Familiar (Live)

from Into the Wilderness Live by Eliza Delf

lyrics

My Familiar
My familiar, my familiar.
I was found at the edge of a woman,
And left a little broken,
And a little bit saved,
Struck down and dazed,
Struck down and dazed.
My familiar, my familiar.
The thread that led you to me,
Was what I used to escape.
I walked out to the sunrise,
And looked for looking’s sake,
Looked for looking’s sake.

I put my bones back piece by piece,
I steal the blood back from the beast,
I take the most I give the least.
This woman will not fall.
My familiar, my familiar.
How safe it felt to be entwined,
You decide and I comply,
But here’s the break.
For my sake,
For my sake.
My familiar, my familiar.
That goodbye was against my will,
You took it and you hold it still.
I hope you hold it near,
I hope it hurts to hear,
I hope it hurts to hear.

I put my bones back piece by piece,
I steal the blood back from the beast,
I take the most I give the least.
This woman will not fall.
I put my bones back piece by piece,
I steal the blood back from the beast,
I take the most I give the least.
This woman will not fall.
