lyrics

When I first met you you had no skin and your hair was on fire like your eyes protesting the bones kept them in.

I’m not really sure what you were trying to tell me when you tied back my hair with the pillowcase. Seemed like you had to make us the same for to see that deep in our eyes there was beautiful.

Mostly I remember your hands ‘round my neck. You were proving the fine line that stretches out between moments of trust and of fear. And I knew it was that line that brought you here.

I’m not trying to undermine the calls that were made in your name, but for me it was much scarier to see you later on, when your feet were weighted down with those chemical stones.

How much water did it take to put out that crazy fire?
How much water did it take and where’d your fire go?
