A recorded reading of “Fangs of June”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
We kissed like arson, set the orchard alight. You wore the heat like perfume, I wore the night. The fireflies watched but told no soul. We carved our names in summer’s bones. You were ash and sweat. I was fire unkept. June bit down, and I still haven’t slept.
Alternative version
We kissed like arson, bit down on summer, never said your name. You wore heat like perfume. I wore regret like a crown. Barefoot in blackberries, we let the wild drag us down. You said love was hunger— not a vow, but a scar. We bled on honeysuckle, howled under stars. June has fangs. She bit through me. You were sweat and ash. I let it be. I was flame. You were gasoline. We bloomed like wounds left unseen. The fireflies told no one. The moon held her breath. We carved our names in poplar and called it sweet death. You burned the good out of me— left the wild intact. I never felt more human than when I couldn’t turn back. Let the summer eat us. Let the gods decide. If love is blood, then we never lied. June has fangs. And we kissed with teeth.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro – 4 bars of cicadas, crackling fire, and distant thunder drums] [Verse 1 – tribal drums, plucked strings, smoky vocals] We kissed like arson Set the orchard to flame Bit down on summer And never said your name You wore the heat like perfume I wore regret like a crown We danced barefoot in the blackberries Let the wild drag us down [Pre-Chorus – slow stomp beat builds, background hums swell] You told me love was hunger Not a vow but a scar We bled on the honeysuckle And howled under stars [Chorus – full drum circle, layered gang vocals, chant-like intensity] June has fangs And she bit through me You were sweat and ash And I let it be I was flame You were gasoline We bloomed like wounds That stayed unseen June has fangs And we kissed with teeth [Verse 2 – add distorted electric cello, echoing chorus whispers] The fireflies told no one The moon held her breath We carved our names in poplar And called it sweet death You burned the good out of me Left the wild intact I never felt more human Than when I couldn't turn back [Pre-Chorus – same with higher vocal harmony] You told me love was hunger Not a vow but a scar We bled on the honeysuckle And howled under stars [Chorus – repeat with stronger vocal harmonies and layered background chants] June has fangs And she bit through me You were sweat and ash And I let it be I was flame You were gasoline We bloomed like wounds That stayed unseen June has fangs And we kissed with teeth [Bridge – slow chant with only drums and foot stomps] Let the summer eat us Let the gods decide If love is blood Then we never lied [Final Chorus – explosive ending drumline and fading howls] June has fangs And she bit through me You were sweat and ash And I let it be I was flame You were gasoline We bloomed like wounds That stayed unseen June has fangs And we kissed with teeth [Outro – cicadas return, distant thunder roll, final breathy “kissed with teeth…”]
