Ungirthed Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The scent of my hands is familiar
To fosterly men in their coats
Who guide with their spirits from fire, fire, fire, fire
Who speak with some tenderly
Who speak with some tenderly coax
The tinge of my eyes was familiar
To fosterly men in their coats
Who get close, close, close to their closetly homes
And illuminate the world of the ghosts

[Pre-Chorus]
Ears ring and teeth click and
Ears ring and teeth click and
Ears, ears, ears ring and teeth click and
Ears ring and teeth click and
Ears ring and teeth click and
Ears ring and teeth click and ears, ears ring

[Chorus]
The air is familiar the sound is not still
Dead voices cover their moats
They fill their cloth totes with rustles of the earth
And the cry of detritioning bones

[Verse 2]
The dust off my knuckles familiar
To culminated piles, to culminated piles of bones
That shift when the earth quakes and trembles
And quarries men up to their, and quarries men up to their thrones
The scent of my skin is familiar
To fosterly men in their coats
Who guide with their spirits from fire, fire, fire, fire
Who speak with some tenderly
Who speak with some tenderly coax
[Chorus]
The air is familiar the sound is not still
Dead voices cover their moats
They fill their cloth totes with rustles of the earth
And the ladies that they have ungirthed

[Outro]
Ears ring and teeth click and
Ears ring and teeth click and
Ears ring and teeth click and
Ears ring and teeth click and ears, ears ring

Genius Annotation

“Ungirthed” is the first single and the third song off Shrines. This song was the first song to ever be created by the duo. “Ungirthed” is an explicit reference towards males, its lyrical content is taken directly from Megan’s journals and its mostly imagined as being an “intensely personal” and strange narrative about strong, young aspiring female witches who experience and interact in a place without any males as they improve, grow and protect themselves.
