lyrics

SWIPING AT COMETS

so since we are physically affected
swiping at comets all night and not talking
I've hit a rock in you
a jail of stars
deep in the sea

let the hands come off
we know not
whether we,
or the energy is anything more than you'll say
you're the honey stuck in fur for now
a glass of champagne

I can tell you
I'm transparent
iIm not mine
stay here until I desire you
would it be an ill-starred boat if I'm on it too

inhospitable shores
baring its chest everyday at your door
am I able to feel anything
beyond the fuse

so since we are physically affected
swiping at comets all night and not talking
there's a ringing bell in you
for all the world is new

it's not the first time I've timed my breathing
nor the first time I'll cling to fire
I try to lead and I lose myself
I can hear you without
I can hear you without
I can hear you without much trouble

there is no glory in this sweet heart
without the firewood within it
so one runs screaming
the other brings it back
a lit song inside a lamp
