Cactus Song

Now you won't listen to a word I say

It's a lifelong wait for validation

You're cruising circles 'round your weighted days

It's for all the ways you've found salvation

I, I've already got that in the songs I've made for you

I, I've already found that in the things I've made for years

The points where I start and the outlines of your skin

Unsure where you end and my whole world begins

Skyscraper trees grew up from morsel seeds

We all owe ourselves to one another

The Pieces woke, so now I choose to breathe

I’m the ground below to help support you

I, I've already got that in the songs I've made for you

I, I've already found that in the things I've made for years

The moon, the stars, the bugs, the powers that may be

Entropic limbo, the end of all things

The points where I start and the outlines of your skin

Unsure where you end and my whole world begins

You are the light, you are the pain I feel

I'm the skin and blood that binds within you

The fictions that we tell are warm and fake

But the truth is always heartbreaking and real

I, I've already got that in the songs I've made for you

I, I've already found that in the things I've made for years

The moon, the stars, the bugs, the powers that may be

Entropic limbo, the end of all things

The points where I start and the outlines of your skin

Unsure where you end and my whole world begins

Unsure where you end and my whole world begins

Unsure where you end and my whole world begins
