Sheila Nicholls - Eiderdown lyrics

It's so calm, I am suspicious without a storm Here on my farm, it is harvest and the sun is warm And I yearn for upheaval, oscillation of the depths The water's calling, and there is flood warning in all my steps And I am leaving light behind to find an equal in my mind To find an equal in my head where all the boys contributed more than tangles in my sheets , breakfast shadows in the streets To make it safe so I won't drown, one more time in Eiderdown Tiptoe below where it is dark and the walls are cold And I see shadow I face my monster while I still feel bold He beckons closer with no eyes and with no respect He'd overdose her but he's to scared cause he hates me The emperor Defiance in my mind sits on his throne With face to be mine presumes I'll serve him beef and wine His importance is so devine as I refuse and smile at him I feed myself and learn to swim To make it safe so I won't drown one more time in Eiderdown And as the dust begins to clear I know it's still taught that you are free And I will consume this condition until there's no more division Cause freedom outside of equal conveys Let the privilege rule and everything else obeys Cause freedom outside of equal conveys Let the privilege rule and everything else obeys And I am leaving light behind to find an equal in my mind To find an equal in my head where all the boys contributed more than tangles in my sheets, breakfast shadows in the streets To make it safe so I won't drown one more time in Eiderdown
