When It Was New
from The Legs That Made Me by Tendon Levey
lyrics
He's made it so that they run
When they hear of
The legs I came sliding from
But not in disgust
Only terror
You're but the one in this world
Who would not run
When you learned of my birth
On an odd day
You deserve on earth
The dessert that should come afterwards
I possess enough
I've been possessed enough
To be truly compatible with anything you need
But you should have seen me when I had a demon in me
We can share much of our time
If you could trust that my walking is worn
Not in this place
But in others (not) like it
Tell me what would you think
Of the world I have been making for us
Does it hold up any better than the one you're from
I've always been the exception
That desires to be a part of the rule
If there's the slight chance I'll get to partake
In the things that the humans do
Know you will be included in this
Nothing of mine can't be shared
Isn't that, though, what the world meant for love
When it was new
When they hear of
The legs I came sliding from
But not in disgust
Only terror
You're but the one in this world
Who would not run
When you learned of my birth
On an odd day
You deserve on earth
The dessert that should come afterwards
I possess enough
I've been possessed enough
To be truly compatible with anything you need
But you should have seen me when I had a demon in me
We can share much of our time
If you could trust that my walking is worn
Not in this place
But in others (not) like it
Tell me what would you think
Of the world I have been making for us
Does it hold up any better than the one you're from
I've always been the exception
That desires to be a part of the rule
If there's the slight chance I'll get to partake
In the things that the humans do
Know you will be included in this
Nothing of mine can't be shared
Isn't that, though, what the world meant for love
When it was new
