lyrics

Is it real or an enchantment?
All I can feel is disenchantment
Can I stay with you, can you unfasten
The cords that hold the thunderclouds crashing?

One off to the left and one off to the right
One right in the middle shining on you like night
They cover you like blankets and you fall asleep
It’s just another truth of the body

All this self-immolation is starting to define you
More than you'd probably like it to
Don't shave your hair, don't be scared,
There's a night stretched across the sky and you're out there

Huddled among the same piles of rubble that she died in
Drinking the same amount, with the same nice grin
You peek at the snow, through the diffuse orange glow,
At the waterfall to see if it still flows

And you see one off to the left, and one off to the right,
And their green glow turns wood-coloured as they cover your sight
They cover you in a blanket of moss
As you bury your dreams in loss

I’m fascinated by the sky, i’m okay with this town
everything’s more okay than it sounds,
everything except confusion and anguish
i am a candle, i’ve been extinguished

and as i lay and lay on mattresses here and there
i couldn't help but think that someday you might care
my love for you is a scratch on a cliff face
my love for you is the vastness of space

my love for you is like a parasite
it kills you
my love for you isn’t the rain at night
it’s the morning dew
