Eternal - Lyrics - Faun Fables

Faun Fables is an American band from Oakland, California. Faun Fables is a concept and vehicle for Dawn McCarthy, who was inspired to write the original material while traveling after leaving the New York City music scene in 1997. Faun Fables also covers 20th century compositions by other song writers and traditional folk songs. The music on the first album is entirely by McCarthy, as are all lyrics and most of the music on Mother Twilight. All albums except for the first are collaborations with Nils Frykdahl, inspired by McCarthy's previous work and "Dawn the Faun" stage persona.

I want to be loved for myself, forget the other ornaments, I want to be adored for myself, without my clothes, my hair, my flesh, Beautiful in a simple state, A sleeping call that just awakes eternal With my clothes on it's easy, without my jewels and my furs, I like what is not easy, love me without adornments, I want to be loved for my skin, not for some animal skin, Just loved for the silk on my back, not for the silk I'm clothed in, Beautiful in a simple state, A sleeping call that just awakes eternal With my hair on it's easy, it's something I can hide behind, I like what is not easy, love me for the bald kind, I want to be loved for my skull, my little parietal bone, I want the men to go crazy for my charming occipital bone, Beautiful in a simple state, A sleeping call that just awakes eternal With my flesh on it's easy, so vulgar and dishonest, I like what is not easy, love me for my skeleton, I want to be loved for my worst, to be loved even for my bones, I want the men just losing their heads, becoming sentimental pets, Beautiful in a simple state, A sleeping call that just awakes eternal
