lyrics

do not raise a hand against yourself
hold the hand that toasts your health
feel the dress that caresses the form
confess to the flesh, it'll make you warm

but then i saw her in the crowd
when the evening got loud
she held in her hands a stable heart
that she threw in the air in the dark

in the deepest depression her hair flashes by
as light as a dandelion, clear as the sky
shading you with wings of grey
rain makes night of gruesome day

no you don't need to leave
hold the wrist that fills the sleeve
flowers wash up on the shore
never seen this many here before

so you can paint it on the corners of your eyes
a black triangle on either side
there's a string there, it's being cut
it's in your eye, it's in your eye, it's in your eye

and the blood in my veins is painted blue
forever flowing pump one two
she's the fountain of condition
she's a field, she's a vision

she's a flower made of petals
she's a tower made of metal
see her here, i see her later
see her at the elevator

and i don't know what's wrong with me
i guess that province is where i should be
though all it is and all it's ever been
is a black triangle, a simulation
