lyrics

i want it back, i don’t know how
whatever time of day
good things come closer in a flash
and quickly fade away
snow starts to fall, i’m paralyzed
it’s all i wanna be, i want it
always stuck grasping at the air
i know there’s something there!!!!!!!!

forget the facts, forget your lines
it’s better in your room
four years till now and here’s what’s left
the absence its cocoon
we sit at tables, heart in hands
a word will not be spoken of it
and i’m back, i’m worse, i’m all the same
and you won’t say it’s name

and, i mean, that’s how it gets you; you don’t know how to— you’re not CUT OUT for this line of work so where do you even get the NERVE!! and frankly it makes me sick to my stomach how much you THINK you know, how little you really do, and how everything that likes you never meant anything in the first place so of COURSE you try to let it course through you, but we both know that IT’S!!! NOT!!!! THERE!!!!!!

i dreamt the other day i caught the golden sun alive
and i dragged him onto land, his broken teeth, my hook inside
and he said something about the age of gods and the end of time
but his breath hung upside down all tangled up in nylon line

cause that’s when nothing deceives you
thought of it leaves you
everyone knows your name and all the water
comes to the surface
nothing could hurt this
keep it the same

and i dreamt the other day the hordes rode through with marble knives
and we sat up on the roof and watched them swat a million flies
and you said something about the morning star and kissed me why
well they thought we worked in pearls and i could hardly break the lie

cause that’s when nothing deceives you
reason will leave you
heaven will know your name but all the water
comes to the surface
why would you hurt this
keep it the same

cause that’s when nothing’s above you
shock if it loves you
nobody knows your name and all the water comes to the surface
give it a purpose and give it a name
(again)
