lyrics

Say the words
To make the shivers come our way
Today, I heard
You take our livers from the clay
And I will lie
Awake, to hear the sound of your feet
Stepping low
Out of bed, into the day before we
Spoke at all
Not a sound, or creak in the window sill
Even still
Alive, but no one else will know

All I'll know, this is all a dream
The way back home isn't far at all
Our endless lines locked in endless reams
You swing around to see them fall

Only spirits can see the pages turn
Leaned against your body, felt your insides burn
Fallen petals seek to hide your lost mistakes
I'll leave it open, there's more than you could ever take

Dipped my face in the ocean for the seventh time this day
The water's tainted, it makes me feel this way
Your salty fingers run across my face
Cracking and crusted with the ones who'll take my place

Turn on your light
Tonight, and let me bask in your warmth
I've been warned
To keep my hands away from the flame
Such a shame
To leave my burnt limbs out in the sun
For no one
To be stunned, to be swept up with the tides
Your sides cling
To the bed of my chest
And the rest
Is left open for you to command

All I'll know, is this is all a dream
The way back home isn't far at all
Our endless lines locked in endless reams
You swing around to see them fall

Only spirits can see what I have done
Sitting, sleeping, looking for another one
Fallen leaves blanket every sweet caress
Expectations long for me to be the best

Dipped my face in the ocean for the hundredth time this day
The water's clouded, it makes me want to say
Run you crooked finger up and down that hollow place
Can't you see that I'm waiting for someone to take my place?

All I'll know, is this is all a dream
The way back home isn't far at all
Our endless lines locked in endless reams
You swing around to see them fall
