lyrics

your hair was short and your neck wove down
the marble stream beating in your chest
a white whale carried us around
you let me live inside your mouth
and so i wait all
doom and gloom in the concourse
a perfect makeshift ceremony
arrest me in the morning
how did you find me in
this pile of clothes
“you were in the laundry”
she said i don’t know

flooded in our crazy song
we jumped the gate to the garden
a stole a watch from the ferrel snake
baptised our tongues along the way
it tunred you on
for once i felt like an ocean
the seed was buried in ancient light
smothered we lay born in the night
how did you find me
in this pile of clothes
“i was just getting dressed”
she said i don’t know

i climbed the mountain from the cot
to test the honeycomb bridge
the key i hid in your hair to save
you found broke in and stole my face
i followed you
and heard the bells ringing in your room
without the lights we ate the core
Then sunk into your heaven’s floor
how did you find me
in this pile of clothes
“you’ve always been here”
she said we should go
