Lyrics

Your mouth as necessary on mine as rain on the desert
I remember thirst
I remember unloading guns beneath a complex heaven
They cut into my dreams
I remember how bitterness tasted
It was sometimes sweet
Now in the black black behind your sleep
I am trying to hold in the oceans
I am struggling to sparkle in your sky
I will collect your snowfalls in my arms and watch them unfold
In the North you ache with loss
And wish for a sick day to curl yourself away and cry
The warmth of your voice now burnt with loss
And everyone knows
Everyone knows you are far too, far too transparent
To hide away such a wanting
Now who is leading and who is needful
You are older than I, but hand yourself over
A bird nestling into my hand
I am broken, I am broken
You say as I stroke you to sleep
Making tea of desperation
I know you are sterling
No, I won't tell them
No, I won't share you
I am killing myself trying not to care
I know you're too fine for this
They've raised your hopes
Now they've come to dash them
Let me throw you deep into the stars
So you can see your heaven and speak to your dead
Lay on me the hands that never kill
Stain my skin with breath laced in coolth and stun
Trace my form in the dark until it glows
You are younger than your years
And I am older than mine
Some midnight I will meet you in the mist
And cross your palm with my mouth
Come here, little bird
Let me lick your feathers back
Come here to your complicated cat
I have done my best to steer you away
Now I swim in blame and sleep in fear
When we go public, my China bird
I'll let you tell the story
When you hurt me
I won't let it show
