lyrics

IN THE BED
WHERE YOU DREAM
WHERE THE LIGHT IS UNENDING
AND TIME IS UNFOLDING

I BREATHE
IN THE SOUND
OF YOUR MOTHER, HER CHILD
HER BABY HER LIFE

IN YOUR DREAM
IT’S YOUR HEAD
AND YOU BLEEDING AND BLEEDING
YOUR BELLY CUT OPEN

I SEE
EVERYTHING
AND I DID THIS TO YOU
I HAD TO, I HAD TO

IN A CRADLE
OF YOUR CLOTHES
YOUR BOOKS AND MAGAZINES
ALL OF YOUR TOYS

WALK AROUND
SIT DOWN
I PLAY WITH KNIFE
AND I JINGLE MY KEYS

HERE IT COMES
AND YOU KNOW
SORRY, NOT SORRY
I’M ALREADY WANTING

IT’S YOUR DREAM
IT’S YOUR HEAD
THERE’S KNIVES ALL AROUND ME
I’LL SHOOT YOU INSTEAD

EVERYTHING AROUND YOU
SO BRILLIANTLY FRAMED
THE FLOWERS THE MIRRORS
THE LACE ON BED

DRESSES AND DRESSES
AND TABLES AND CHAIRS
HOURS OF WAITING
FOR ONE OF YOUR PRAYERS

I AM MOSES AND ABRAHAM
BURNING DOWN ALL MY LAND
DIGGING A HOLE IN THE GROUND
WITH MY HANDS

YOUR BODY IS BEAUTIFUL
COVERED IN CLAY
YOUR SKIN’S A MIRACLE
LIKE DRYNESS IN RAIN

THE FALL SEE’S YOU NOW
DEEP IN HER MOUTH
ROLLING AROUND
ROLLING AROUND

YOUR HEART IS A MOMENT
I KEEP IN A JAR
IT’S THE BRAVEST REMINDER
OF WHAT I’M WITHOUT

IT’S YOUR HEAD
IT’S YOUR DREAM
AND YOU PRAY FOR THE MORNING
THE WATER IS RUNNING

IT’S YOUR HEAD
IT’S YOUR DREAM
I’M CUTTING YOU OPEN
I’M HOLDING YOU OPEN
