Vessel

Call me over, bring me down

I cannot go to sleep

Maybe if I'm honest with you

You could lie to me

Often I have found myself

A vessel to a heart

Softening the bones till I cannot stand

But I cannot break apart

Sometimes I think of you

Like a day that has no wind

Like sunlight spread across

Out to the eastern horizon

Sometimes it feels like forever, forever

Sometimes it feels like forever, forever

Forever

I have found the open jaw

Of the mermaid virgin queen

Tearing through the cavities

To become both extremes

Easy come or easy go

The lungs of fate do heave and blow

A dress of white to a dress of red

To naked as can be

Sometimes I think of you

Like a day that has no wind

Like sunlight spread across

Out to the eastern horizon

Sometimes it feels like forever, forever

Sometimes it feels like forever, forever to me

Forever
