lyrics

My sanity was melting
On the pavement in the rain
I was breathing swimming faders
As the ventilator strained

I focus on our footsteps
As I slowly decompress
The pine above was freezing
Broke your glasses, tore your dress

Beautiful ephemera
Just do what you do
I’ll start learning how to meliorate
And mend your clothes for you

Thoughts about the future
Are getting hard to trust 
Could have stayed forever
But it would never be enough

The herring gulls were blamed for
The falling of the bridge
Raise the level of keys
Bolt the ladder to the ridge

A broken wing, a fall to earth
To land amongst the trees
Frame your qualifying letter
Where you check the ivory

A vision of the future
Then the cage door slammed shut
Could have stayed forever
But it would never be enough

———

Came along from nothing
He was here and he was loved
Could have stayed forever
But it would never be enough
