lyrics

You come and you go
Impress and oppose
Approach me in that moment
You'll come and you'll go until the thrill is won

All of the facts and little fictions come through
In the littlest of you
In the littlest of me I wish it unto thee
The pleasure and pain returned me
Into the arms agreed
I nearly lost my finger in the mouth of need

Uninjured, unanswered
Still anyone's dancer
Still a complete misconception of thee
My beautiful baby

And so I run 'til I cannot
Write your name in cursive plain
A quiet mind, a fickle snout
Leads me 'round to a broader sense of doubt
I could have given everything
But only once
To bend a life between the silence and the silencing
I'd have given anything

All my sentiments shed, I slip into your bed
But do you suppose I could crawl across
Into the arms of loss
Deaf to the creaking of its bones
It costs less to be lost than to be received
I grieve in the water where my duckling drowned
Drink it down

Make haste
The staircase descends into a second chance
And what could the day bring
But a trickle from tomorrow's trance
Bowing low before the wind
The wind's advance
