lyrics

i will build this song again
to honor your oblivion
dreaming that you drink poison
desperate to contain it

follow you on your journey
as you from mine do not depart
blooming out from where we live
to where composure comes apart

crush infatuation with a neediness-elation of a star imposing gladness on us beauty unfamiliar gets forgotten between sessions of delivery from the daily singers songs and drunken power of pursuit we're tired then and never never tired again

time to move this ship from shore
enact a life of love unmoored
on wide open fervent seas
you still ask me your wife to be

retreat from your sweetness to divine an understanding and more lambing of the small ones we provide for then design a perfect sentence to complete my naked presentation bathe myself in water out of which you sucked the poison reading books i got for all the freedom that you wanted from and for me now the sounds i make from cracking open aren't as pure and pretty as the place the place from which i sing

drinking with your honesty
and my jealous lunacy
navigating blood and skin
to honor your oblivion

i wash all your pillows press my head against them when invited i wash all your blankets still the scent remains and i keep quiet dusting all the corners high above the bed and leaving sorrows hanging in the rafters where our joys can sense them laughing all their laughters coax you with my questions which are ill-advised and so i smartly try to hide and hide i do and hide i do
