Obedear

Obedear, the sky is low 
Gather up its harm and gods 
With grateful arms 
Obedear, the sky is low 
Gather up its harm and gods 
With grateful arms

--"Obedear" by Purity Ring

O but dear
it's been creeping up on me
not the fire that blazes through
like the oblivious frog yet to notice
the temperature has begun to rise

O but dear
my limbs ache in suspension
marionette strings pulled taut
as self control dons its war bonnet
in tribute to delayed gratification

O but dear
two honeybees in a dance
show where the sweetest nectar lies
winter abdicates to spring
as i wring these restless hands
