lyrics

talk to me
I've got nowhere to go
I've made a mess making myths out of molehills
I'm left with nothing but my bones

sometimes we scream and tear and swallow it
sometimes we let our lovers leap
I've got a kingdom still in disrepair
and yet we watch each other sleep

if we could just turn from our corners
work out an order
you go first
and don't look back I'll fall apart again
just leave me deep inside the earth

there are worlds to dream
take my hand and know
(my palms are sweaty)
all that's in between
is what we can control

I've got a knack for stoking ire fires
and keeping pitchforks at my gut
I know you bore of all the martyr talk
and staying put inside my rut

I love you more than water, air, and wind, and fire
I love you more than anything I've ever known or seen
I love you more than the wonders of the deep
or anything that's ever come to me in dreams

it's a wondrous world
(wake up)
with the room to spare
(where have you been?)
even if we can't find a way to share it together
(follow me -- come on)

who said we have to be together?
even if we're never I say: "keep yourself safe"
