[00:27.58] Come with me
[00:30.54] Fall into the wildscape
[00:33.54] Reverse the church bells
[00:36.37] Swiping in the mud
[00:39.65] With two fingers
[00:44.81] And one in your mouth, wandering
[00:57.75] I was a thumbsucker, what am I now?
[01:00.68] I was a thumbsucker, what am I now?
[01:03.67] Am I a traveller, was I ever?
[01:09.59] Or do I just colour 'round the clear lines?
[01:12.84] Do I just turn away from every confrontation?
[01:21.76] Biting until bleeding
[01:24.66] She says she knows
[01:26.98] This is my strange voice
[01:30.39] She say she's close
[01:32.11] Once I was a thumbsucker
[01:35.97] Doesn't say to what
[01:37.92] Once I was a runaway
[01:40.87] The forest is all sorts of forests
[01:45.52] Hid in tight places and World War II bunkers
[01:49.05] It seems to be adapting itself, she says
[01:51.17] Found secret tree huts, spiralling
[01:54.41] Alternating between mountains and marshland
[01:58.60] A self-harming vampire, she always says
[02:00.63] Of the tender kind, she always says
[02:03.55] A compensation, she always says
[02:06.33] For something too wild, for something too wild
[02:09.26] For something too wild, something too wild
[02:12.35] For something too wild, for something too wild
[02:16.79] In this way
[02:17.52] Alternating mouth and thumb
[02:18.74] Forest and human
[02:19.95] Both transforming
[02:21.29] Forest and humans
[02:22.74] Producing nothing. Until
[02:28.14] Are equals
[02:28.62] I got afraid that I'd dug too deep
[02:30.83] Stirred up something in the body
[02:33.38] The glands of instinct, fear and desire
[02:39.58] Clanking from a distant engine
[02:42.46] Iron shafts and idler-wheels
[02:45.74] And then there is release
[03:02.18] Whatever it is you are doing to yourself
[03:12.78] You are always performing some kind of internal construction work
[03:26.49] I was a thumbsucker, what am I now
[03:29.14] Am I a runaway, was I ever?
[03:32.19] It's all in the wrist
[03:37.19] Sketching out the wildscapes
[03:39.68] Sucking on the church bells
[03:41.90] The hunger of the clappers
[03:47.69] Withdrawing word by word
[03:51.98] Back into the rabbit hole
[03:56.58]
