Tendons |
Careful of the morning |
Careful of the night |
Careful of them hunting |
The ideas we leave behind |
Those preachers and their stories |
Drunkards and their vows |
We clung to each other |
When there was no one else around |
Tendons that we are |
Tendons stretched too far |
Tangled up and heavy |
Winding steady |
Tender in the dark |
We’re fractions of a star |
Held above a story |
For a moment only |
I can’t decide |
What needs building |
What needs digging |
What needs filling in |
This love, this love is like a swarm |
We can’t see through it |
We can’t hold thorns |
Tendons that we are |
Tendons stretched too far |
Tangled up and heavy |
Winding steady |
Tender in the dark |
We’re fractions of a star |
Held above a story |
For a moment only |
Until it breaks clean |
Until it takes me |
Until we hollow the thought |
Nothing this close can enjoy permanence |
I think I understand |
That past is circling |
Nothing that’s lit can be in flames this long |
You said, you said I had all the fighting, maybe |
Maybe it’s something |
Maybe it’s real |
Not faded like flowers |
Form yesterday’s field |
Aimless on a fated road |
This life it keeps us hunting |
Cos I’m not home |
Throw my bones |
Empty me |
Held so tight |
That’s all I see |
Let your grief pour into me |
Tell me now, is this what you wanted? |
Is this what you wanted? |
Let yourself pour into me |
Tendons that we are |
Tendons stretched too far |
