Cardinal

I’m so tired of nothing, really,

Half the time you’d think I’m rolling over

Lonely is a solid place

A land I love, I wish to hold it open

Thirst, I never quench the thirst

My throat is on fire, there’s never enough water

Wet the skin and kiss my eyes

There’s more outside than winter in the garden

No, I don’t feel it

No, I don’t feel it

No, I don’t feel it

No, I don’t feel it

Yeah, I don’t mean it

Yeah, I don’t mean it

Yeah, I don’t mean it

Yeah, I don’t mean it

Cardinal, he came to me

Set on the tree above the frozen water

Blush of red beside my head

I’ll take the sign I’m given, not forgotten

Stop the spout, its spilling out

Spit ripples in the mouth I’m making over

No, I don’t feel it

Yeah, I don’t mean it

No, I don’t feel it

Yes, I don’t mean it

I don’t mean it
