lyrics

I loved & I lost it & I thought I would go off
It's deep & I'm swimming in your afterkiss

are you sleeping?

I will return to build my nest
to protect those diamonds in your chest
from the stronger hawk with a glassy eye
who watches when the windows rise
and makes sure all is chewed & softened
before it reaches those muddy coffins
filled with jewelry from old women
turned into dust between their linens
if the president couldn't live until his death
and angels took the other's breath
if miracles are monsters, too
then why won't you let me talk to you?
why we run, I'll never see
some just have a longer leash
I will leave this place on a mythic beast
with storied wings and iron teeth
