Lyrics

Now you stand on the other shore
Your life all strung out with metaphor
Your eyes still beg to touch again the way we did before
In the flower days
But it's hard to hide the animal
When just beneath the veil lives the animal
As it writhes and it grasps just like the tentacles
Of a past life you're determined to forget
I dreamed your body a pair of wings
You rose above the canopy
You had seen all that you had gone to see
And you were near yet still out of reach
And you came to me and you breathed into my mouth
And my heart beat so loud
And the light fell low and you were that animal
And our hair had grown so long
Believe me I am of this world
Touch me we're alive in a body of this world
When you come to my arms around you
It's still a dream
I'm still a mess
I'm still alone
I'm still dressed
Come to me, breath into my mouth
My heart beats so loud
A stranger in the room of your own mind
You drew the dove you drew the sword and the borderline
Was it to spare me and the ones that you left behind
In the wake of your great decline
Come to me and breath into my mouth
And feel my heart so loud
If you need be slow but I want your animal
And to roll in our hair so long
