lyrics

I want a love that never falters
But I'm floating on the surface of the pond
And I've got coiled, metal tethers
But blink and I'll be sinking, then I'm gone

You're skipping stones in little handfuls
Kill the birds with no efficiency
And I'm a stone's throw from the candles
I want the fire that I started to see

So you kill
Your paper mind
Spark is lit, the bruises kind, and you
Kill
Your paper mind,
But keep your skin wilfully blind
But I wanna breathe
I wanna bleed
Why'd you let me down so badly?
So you kill
Your paper mind
Leave me behind

I want a break inside a coffin
'cause that's my means of flower delivery
And when your tiny footsteps soften
I'll know you found a more complicit sleep

" " "

I want to breathe in the expanse
Not just flickers of trees in the parking lots
I want to hold your shaky hands
Not just ghosts of the future
That you forgot
But this is home, preemptive heartbreak
I'm tethered by the metal to the tides
And maybe someday I'll escape
The bulrush basket got me nowhere
