about

Basic Beasts is a song adapted from poetry written by Ryan Gould.

lyrics

These dreamcatchers aren't working the same way.
You are busy and I'm in need

I asked that I might meet the beasts that you befriended,
Taloned creatures I injected for protection.
But they flew away, forgot their names, their posts
For other homes. You've always said "So it goes"

My eyes are open when they should have closed, that I know. And I've been slow dancing with people I've never met, But I have read this book too many times to not know the plot line.

Cut me open, sew me up,
Show me blood I got on your gloves.
Just to discover that I didn't care
To let you know there's nothing there.

You know that I know just what to say
You are in need and I'm busy.
