She Speaks in Metaphor

from Anxious Inventions & Fictions by Mike Bankhead

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This compact disc contains two additional songs: "Anecdote", which features Dayton hip-hop artist TINO, and "Won't Love You Anymore", co-written with Nashville Americana artist Greg Owens. Due to these additional songs, the track listing is arranged differently than the digital version for a custom listening experience. Also, the deluxe version features an alternate mix of opening track "Your Anthem".

    The disc will arrive nestled comfortably in a jewel case, including a twelve page booklet where you can read all of the lyrics at your leisure. The beautiful painting "Insomnia" by Megan Fiely is on the cover, and the layout and design was handled by Spencer Williams. This deluxe version on compact disc will be a solid addition to your music collection.

lyrics

I am the night
Dark and brooding but I
Dissolve when drenched by dawn
Now dripping light
Till the gloaming dries me
This is what she said

She speaks in metaphor
It’s getting out of hand
She speaks in metaphor
I don’t understand

We are the stars
Fueled by fusion and we
Collapse under the gravity of
Our avatars
Till the ones and zeros reboot
This is what she said

She speaks in metaphor
It’s getting out of hand
She speaks in metaphor
I don’t understand

She speaks in metaphor
Her wish is my command
She speaks in metaphor
I don’t understand
