lyrics

do you remember that room
glowing green beneath the oak boughs
it's an amber looking glass now
somewhere hidden out of view
and with the heat wave pulsing
that dark sun sweat lodge
that pulled the dress above your head
steering ships into the sweat of us
and then the fall came crashing
and with it all the leaves
a mountain range between the pains
of prairies wanting shelter from the rain
and oh my god is it cold here
it cuts you to the bone
marino wool will lead us through
the windrows stacked against your home

so yeah, i dream of you often
does that make me lost, then?

i dream of you often
the memory soft and warm
does that make me lost, then?
a ship in love with storms?

a brittle me riddling blood from stones and student loans
willing futures, pulling sutures
scar tissue and faceless commuters
what of this can i leave behind
when peace of mind is ours divided
sizing up your stronger bones
to plant in gardens, ours alone
certainty battered to gold leaf
plasters across my past mantra of
"we're all dying faster"

oceans high, will you rise to meet them?
erosions, fire, will you cry defeat, then?
we're two model icebergs
in sickness in health
who deal with the currents but lose bits of ourselves
a summer is coming
but that shadow behind us
is longer and promising
that there will always be darkness

the eclipse of your lips over all we amount to
at home in your shade
so fucking grateful i found you

(where do i go when this all goes?)

i'm trying hard to hold you
even when the cracks are running deep

keeping up with eating
and a couple hours of proper sleep

maybe it gets easier with time
and more maturity

beating back the dusk with you
in beds for short eternities

(where do i go when this all goes?)
