For So Long Now |
For so long now I’ve been eating from your mouth that my insides are sore and |
stuffed |
For so long now god i know I don’t know |
I listen i leave, I break like the twigs on a tree |
I know but I don’t know |
You make me so sure like nothing matters |
You make me so sure |
We’re dwarfs, tables crush us under this blanket in the storm |
It’s warm and the tin roof above us fills with summer hail |
The jungle all covered in ice our words are there too |
They dangle above us, like dusty chandeliers in a colonial house |
There must not be too many hours left here for us now |
Midnight arrives and we remember the day we met |
Riding the steamer away from port |
Passing mines and bear back workers on the shore |
Every night we return to walk the black tunnel |
And pick diamonds from the wall |
Sabotage and since then every moment with you i claw |
This world has been a dream |
Like gently running fingernails along our front porch screen |
What have we done but live here naturally |
Our fortunes are made |
Tomorrow we carry them home |
Across that great blue body with fingers tied |
In knots and bows and little monsters in our throats |
We take them home |
For so long now |
I know I don’t know |
