lyrics

Staying up past four
As I sat in the shirt you wore,
we talked and never got bored

Reach to touch your hand
Teach myself to walk on land,
on sand, after journeys unplanned

It's the same as my fantasy
Framing each bite mark you plant on me
Handwritten elegies
Have faded away like unwarranted apologies
to memories

You found me
Unbound me
Stood tall and crowned me
Each nightmare
Falls lighter
I'm sleeping soundly

Something was amiss;
Hungry kisses and reminiscences
laced with analysis

Dreaming forward now
to a future without a doubt
devout to something I care about

I had a hole in my retinue
The bags under my eyes should have room for you
I want to carry your residue,
Use it like Hansel and Gretel do: I'll follow you
to brighter moons

You found me
Unbound me
Stood tall and crowned me
Each nightmare
Falls lighter
I'm sleeping soundly
