lyrics

do you still see yourself back there
in your dreams?
do you still find yourself writhing?
tear your sheets, go back to sleep
“there’s never any words to write,”
the songbird sighs
we were so young for so long
how wide our eyes
but we’re getting tired.

will you be my best friend
when there’s nothing left?
forgotten feeling in the springtime
in the growing leaves.
oh stay with me
with branches splitting open my head-
alive again!
i’m arraigned in the autumn light:
do i have to die to come back alive?

the song was stolen from my mouth
with steady aim i shot the songbird down
i didn’t mean no harm
still my beating heart
i’m an anvil stuffed with down
lightning with no sound

we were so young for so long
