lyrics

Here is the hand on my chest
I am the palm that lays waiting
Still in the night,
I’m anticipating

I wait for your face
to blacken the doorframe
I fall asleep
whispering your name

I was your alternate sun
oh how we danced in the kitchen
now you turn everyone
into ammunition

You strike me with words
I’m stripped of my powers
and quiet I stand
until the hours turn into days
holding the only thing that remains
My love

Yours is the body of hope
I trace your hip in the morning
and laying there still
your eyes light a warning

But every time that you smile
it sends me reeling
Though I give all I have
why’s it feel like you’re stealing
you always want more
before you walk out the door
My love

I’d take care of you safe if you’d just let me know
the names of the scars you refuse to let go

Here is a heart that won’t quit
here is a sky and it’s thunder
and in the tide of desire
again, I’m pulled under

I build a fire at night
and the flames tend to consume me
ashes to ashes I fight
while you softly say to me
‘you don’t understand’
and then leave me, a match in my hand.
My love
