I used wait for you I used to feel old Plant your tea, crush your wine Your yellowed knuckles are void in mine Your starved hands in your sweat pants and your planets for eyes One holds you when one can; you’re molded of smoke and those broken white lines In the river high with stolen joyrides in cheap shopping carts and the beaches mined with busted bottles thrown into the dark The light is lovely like the lonely swingset in the city park where everything is free to find and nothing’s guaranteed to work where everything is free to find and nothing’s guaranteed to work Where everything is free to find x 3 Where everything is pre-defined I used to wait for you We used to trash time True restless red talkers No land or labor, no royal high But children - not children We’re kids who are skinned Spoil your tea, spill your wine You weight it with bricks. You water it with brine In the river high with stolen joyrides in cheap shopping carts and the beaches mined with busted bottles thrown into the dark The light is lovely like the lonely swingset in the city park where everything is free to find and nothing’s guaranteed to work where everything is free to find and nothing’s guaranteed to work Where everything is free to find x 3 Where everything is pre-defined

Sewn Well 06:21
Sewn well into your dress a pious man makes his confession When they tolled the bells for deliverance Holy bodies brought me close to city's edge one lone prayer in oxford polish makes no promise rises silent May I advocate for time Trading comfort for desire and solace for a sign High and binding your bright beacon to wake sullen bones Sewn well into your dress the wildest man makes an impression long before your hands lift in reverence Care to see you coveting another's plan hurried vision in his likeness says the prophet rise up silent May I advocate for time Trading comfort for desire and solace for a sign High and binding your bright beacon to wake sullen bones Grown well into your dress your nights that ask no more permission All man can attain you have had exchanged Called to chase the cord arranged in all things strip from you your broken habit summer rain now rising silent May your body speak for time Trade no comfort or desire or solace for a sign high and binding your bright beacons be your flesh and bones
