lyrics

With care I collected a fistful of stars inspired by your curves, which you use so well, and with ease I spread them across your face to light my way home.

So why sit here in the dark when there are just so many perfect things to be seen: passionate, tragic, caused by a lonely spark that I've left hidden for you in vault behind my eyes, with such sweet and such solemn surprise.

Let you bat your eyelids
Just to focus mine.
Is your wingspan endless?

Are there consequences
Of a patient mind?
If your motion finished,
I might be, I...

Is the moonlight waning?
Are your temples burning?
I'll let you, I'll let you...
A fine life
But you have my sympathy.

If the well seems faithless,
Is your water blind?
Well then I might just climb down...

Are your feathers bathing
In such peaceful night?
I'll let you, I'll let you...

...

There you go! You put a gun to my head and run away with my breath down XOXO lined with promises of cigarettes and vodka to keep us warm for tonight... Tonight...
If only for tonight... Then I can just, collapse...

Shed your broken windows,
Leave the glass behind,
Let your ghost become me, flightless.

Your grace alludes the pavement
But you were already mine.
I'll let you go. I'll let you
Flash your eyes, girl,
You have my sympathy.

If they prove your fate then
Will you trust their kind?
If the well seems faithless
I might just climb down.

And if all of this is fleeting?
If the wrong part of me is bleeding?
If the wolf in the yard is still feeding...

...

Pull back your hair,
Not that you need to, coz you don't.

Then clip your wings,
Now that you've snuck behind my throat.
