lyrics

In love with the water
In lust with the open sky
I swallowed the mirror
Reflect as the days flow by

I circle the moment
I watch myself fail to fly
I'm stuck in the honey
I'm stuck on the reasons why

It breaks like a thunder
It sinks like a crystal ball
I can't feel my fingers
I can't feel myself at all

Fight fire with fire
I'm swimming in turpentines
We're all full of toxins
No one ever seems to mind

This dance is so crazy
I can't seem to catch this grind
There I go again judging
What I can't seem to leave behind

Like all of these demons
They pin me against the wall
My hunger is a symptom
Wake up thirsty or not at all

The moss it is glowing
Still wet in the morning sun
Thought I saw a ladder
To climb when the day is done

Thought I saw a swallow
It swallowed the glory whole
I'm not asking for favors
I just want some dice to roll

I'll return to the ocean
Return to the womb again
Inside of the mother
Won't have any questions then
Won't have any questions then
Won’t have any questions
