Tiny Hammer

from Loves You by MADAM WEST

/

about

Based on the character Calliope as written by Neil Gaiman in his Sandman series. Named for our bassist's tiny hammer fingers.

This song is dedicated to anyone who has found themselves equally trapped within and addicted to a controlling or abusive relationship.

lyrics

Pluck my feathers one by one
Sow them in the starry sky
And tell your children when you tuck them in at night

Fill my senses one by one
Lose me in the dizzying spin
Hold me down, throw me around
Make me explode like a supernova
Supernova
Aah...aah...aah...

Stand by my side, stay by me
I need the rush, the ride
Or else I will surely die
Or else I will surely die

Stand by my side, stay by me
I need the rush, the ride
Or else I will surely die
Or else I will surely die

I'm your puppet, pull my strings
Make my eyes of dragons' wings
Make my legs of sticks and stones
Hold me so you're not alone

Remember me when i am gone
When i flicker and go out like so many stars
A dwarf, a white dwarf, a supernova
Remember me, remember me, remember me
Aah..aah...aah...

Stand by my side, stay by me
I need the rush, the ride
Or else I will surely die
Or else I will surely die

Stand by my side, stay by me
I need the rush, the ride
Or else I will surely die
Or else I will surely die
