Song language: English
Lioness |
| When I was with you we were an estuary |
| I don’t know if I come from the river or the sea |
| All I know is you are both my opposite and my reflection |
| And where we meet, all salt and mouth and convergence |
| We were the meeting point of a mountain and a valley |
| From a distance it is clear that we are inverted forms of one another |
| Should our mountain crumble it would fill the valley to our brim |
| Creating flatland where there was once chaos |
| But until that beautiful collapse we wonder where you begin and I end |
| We were two bodies running out of room in this world |
| We carved space in ourselves for the other to borrow |
| For the other to burrow |
| I wake up sometimes with ghost traces of your lips on my bones |
| And my arms holding your phantom frame as you drift away |
| We were roots and soil, the splendor of a tide pool, we were giants |
| But for now we can’t swallow the things that separate us |
| Lioness, please grab me again by the scruff of my neck |
| And lick the wounds I’ve made trying to taste my own blood |
