[INTERMISSION XIX] Mockingbird

Season 10

Season 10 of WOE.BEGONE continues next week.


LYRICS:


Naïve soul

You fell for it

I was worrying that

You would take

Me seriously

I’ll have to invent

An alibi.


What did it find in you?

What did it find in you

That I couldn’t find in you?

What did it find in you?

C’mon, tell me.

What did it find in you?

What did it find in you?

Why was it trying to find you?

Did it confide in you?

C’mon, tell me.


Mythical beast

Found in the waterways

Clogging your arteries

You’re a machine to it

There was a time that

I thought that I could trust you

But now I see it ripple through your ribcage.


What did it find in you?

What did it find in you

That I couldn’t find in you?

What did it find in you?

C’mon, tell me.

What did it find in you?

What did it find in you?

Why was it trying to find you?

Did it confide in you?

C’mon, tell me.


Delicate thing

In this blistering heat

You’ll burn up.


Don’t mistake me for a mockingbird,

I created this sound and you were innocent,

Don’t mistake me for a mockingbird

Don’t hold me so delicately in your hands.


You showed up to be a conduit

I can tell you are aware of it

They’ve been praying to you

About praying to you

I’ll admit that I’ve grown fond of it

It’s not without it benefits

I have been praying to you

I have been praying for you


Don’t let it get to your head

if it hasn’t already yet

I don’t think that you can stand much more

Praise for things you’re just a vessel for.


Because stronger men than me

Have done the very thing

You’re doing now

And it was hard when we found out.


Don’t mistake me for a mockingbird,

I created this sound and you were innocent,

Don’t mistake me for a mockingbird

Don’t hold me so delicately in your hands.


Lost and found

And duty bound

What did you find

When you went digging?

(The outline of a memory

A song to sing, an elegy

A palm to hold against my chest

The whole world’s over, what is left?

The outline of a memory

A figment of some dignity

A finger tracing distant tracks

I felt the world end, what is left?

That’s what I found when I went digging.)


There’s a mouth of a cave

That you showed me

Where they surrounded and

Then renamed you

There’s a place in

The back of your throat

That resonates now

I remember

It didn’t used to.


Don’t mistake me for a mockingbird,

I created this sound and you were innocent,

Don’t mistake me for a mockingbird

Don’t hold me so delicately in your hands.

Don’t mistake me for a mockingbird.

(The outline of a memory

A song to sing, an elegy

A palm to hold against my chest

The whole world’s over, what is left?

That’s what I found when I went digging)

    36:50||Season 21, Ep. 7
    “[Snowshoe hares] are shy and secretive and spend most of the day in shallow depressions, called forms, scraped out under clumps of ferns, brush thickets, and downed piles of timber. They may occasionally use the large burrows of mountain beavers as forms. … Snowshoe hares are generally solitary but may gather in small groups when feeding.” -Source[Warning: this episode contains depictions of game animals being used as food, natural disasters, violence, death, and wet and visceral sounds.

    29:24||Season 21, Ep. 4
    "Harlequin rabbits are friendly, playful, and social animals that thrive when they get lots of interaction with their family members. Like other pet bunnies, Harlequins need several hours of supervised time outside of their cage to get exercise and release excess energy. Rabbits that do not get enough social interaction may develop undesirable behaviors like biting, scratching, or kicking when handled."

    29:48||Season 21, Ep. 3
    “With the exception of mating season, desert hares are generally solitary mammals.

  • 2. 242: Wooly

    34:30||Season 21, Ep. 2
    “Jersey Wooly rabbits are most active around daybreak and sunset. They do better indoors but should have enough space to run around in the house. Allowing your rabbit to run outdoors will help it get fresh air and sunlight, which makes for a healthy life. However, make sure it is in a secure area away from other animals or possible predators.”LINKS:KO-FI SHOP: https://ko-fi.com/woebegonepod/shopMUSIC: http://woebegonepod.bandcamp.comBLUSTEER: http://blusteer.bandcamp.comTWITCH: http://twitch.tv/woebegonepodPATREON: http://patreon.com/woe_begoneALIZA SCHULTZ: https://shows.acast.com/the-diary-of-aliza-schultzTRANSCRIPTS: http://WOEBEGONEPOD.comTWITTER: @WOEBEGONEPOD
