about

The Prettiest Please is about the delirium of love and the fear of falling out of it. It was written shortly after I recovered from a rare tick-borne illness, called anaplasmosis. In the throws of illness, my head swirled in a fever dream. I was bed ridden for two weeks and needed help from my partner to get out of bed and move. I had been thinking about the nature of love, it being this odd mixture of compulsion and decision, feeling and thought, heart and head. I fear that without the feeling or delirium of love, I may not decide to love.

-Peter M

lyrics

If I expire upon your fire I want you to believe that the warmth in you is the warmth within me. Come call me out of my own mouth. Swallow my teeth then take a seat on the pendulum swing that is living as me. I tossed and turned our sleepless sheets above our heads, down to the bed, and buried us as ghosts of all those things that I have said. The love long locks upon your head dampen on my brow. The fever here it is not gone. Say the Prettiest Please to please me and I will be what you need if you’ll be my everything.

If I inspire a telephone wire to transmit a signal of me, to me, from me, you guessed it about me, come cut me down where I am found burn that stump out and plant a different tree: one that does not resemble me so I can finally see it pollinate and procreate, pleased to be and become real and the one, tethered not spun to all those things that I have said. The love long locks upon your head dampen on my brow. The fever here it is not gone. Say the Prettiest Please to please me and I will be what you need if you’ll be my everything.

Those things that I have said. The love long locks upon your head dampen on my brow. The fever here it is not gone. Say the Prettiest Please to please me and I will be what you need if you’ll be my everything.
