Lyrics

I can’t recall a time when my body felt like mine
Not a vessel, or a symbol, or a shrine.
Like the lines around my eyes: a perfect map of plans devised
to admire, and acquire, and arrive.
Or the dimples on my thighs, perfect thumbprints left behind
by the ones who have held me much too tight.
How can you doubt me now? My love ain’t no solemn vow!
It is a churning sea. I thought that I showed you how my
desire honors my devotion
it’s a death, a rebirth, set in motion!
How can you stand ankle deep and lay claim to the ocean?
I had half a mind to spill all the sailors bygone swill,
but instead I choke it down with bitter pills.
Forsake the frenzy and the thrill, embrace the meadow and the mill!
I’m so tired of running up and down that hill!
So I lay prostrate at the will, of the void I’ll never fill,
while the strangle of all my wanting holds me still.
How can I reconcile all that once felt worthwhile
slipping away from me, with no amount of denial?
And yet my honor desires my devotion
it’s a death, a rebirth, set in motion!
Now I stand at the shore, I’m gonna throw it all into the ocean.
Who stands agape before the deep, into which you dream to leap?
Is there something in there that you think you’ll keep?
