lyrics

rings of smoke
gutter and window
i've turned out the light
and i'll kill the other
infinite rush of you leaving
in a car down the freeway
my stomach follows to a fresh dug hole
still singing

empty air sighs
summer's mid-roar
i've never seen so many birds
in the snowy corn
night converges on a candle
i didn’t stop counting
until i was scared
but that was a long time ago

now i’m at the dream party
and i’ve never been so alone

pebbles worn
to perfection
what were once
part of some great stone
layered and weathered
leaves vivid and withered
shining in the last bits
of autumnal sun

now i’m at the dream party
and i’ve never been so alone
now i’m at the dream party
and i’ve never felt so alone

my heart is a distant basin
that i let you
wash your body in
cracked into a thousand pieces
now you are clean
and i fold
as the sky
creases

we sway
we sway
we sway
we sway
in the ocean
or a river on a cloudless day
