lyrics

On Sunday evening the days became clear
Nothing of this moment, nothing of the future
Could rifle attention or ring in chiming ears
A feeling of empty, kneeling to what could be
In a ten foot mirror, they carve their bodies into dust
Shreds of trailing pink, with t-shirt and black jeans
A journey of belonging, sculptures and offers
The same people as before, the same power driving in
The same inlet to explore, new scar upon his chin
I’ve taken to imperfection, I just can’t find the words
They lie in this obsession. They lie with the absurd
Little birds that flew through rays
Holding on to every word, to every tune, to everyone
Holding onto feathers that catch and crave the drop
They swoop and gather echoes that never breathe
Am I holding too much, is there some other voice
That I haven’t yet heard, that I can’t understand
I return to the night you were holding his hand
At the top of the stairs in the corner by the chairs,
they share a pill
He drops his finger and unbuttons, the plane of
panting bodies
Throbbing she never comes, but the doors are open
The flood spreads and in this vacuum bodies swarm
to their shoulders
Is she a girl like every other, in his head breaking free
He was told not to trust, she’ll ask for too much
She kneels over his body and kisses, the span of torsos
In each of their arms a wave flows and wraps
Hands reach for their skin, they want to join in
You’re beautiful…
