my hands are tied
my tongue is bound
my feet don't ever leave the ground
every word you said to me
you said so eloquently
so i wrap them in a plastic case
i laminate all that you say
so one day when you break my heart
i'll know you didn't always want to
so one day when you break my heart
i'll know you didn't always mean to
so one day when you break my heart
i'll know you didn't always plan to

the fire

there's a fire all around you
and it burns, and it burns
there's fire inside you
and it burns, and it burns
it's hard to deny you
when i yearn, when i yearn
there's fire inside you
and it burns, and it burns
there's water in my chest, boy
and it's cold, and it's cold
but when i'm around you
then it boils, then it boils
it's hard to deny you
there's a fire all around you
and it burns, and it burns
and its hard to deny you
when i yearn, when i yearn
and it's hard to deny you

and i swim these streams alone
but i'm sinking like a stone
and my belly's full of lead
the butterflies have fallen dead
and i breathe this water down
i wear my demise as a crown
your words are heavy in head
the fish are waiting to be fed
and i swim these streams alone
but i'm sinking like a stone
your words are heavy in my head
and my belly's full of lead
your words are heavy in my head
the fish are waiting to be fed

we three

the beast dances with his claws out
the man sings of a kiss and a pout
the woman cries with doubt
together, they write scripts,
put on shows, and stack gold
the beast eats the woman
the man slays the beast
and in the end he sits alone
in the middle of the sea
and tells the whales
that he used to be in love

you were a flame

you were a flame but baby i blew you out
but please know first i cradled you
collected only wood i thought you'd like
to burn through
i placed rocks around you like a moat
to keep you safe and contained within me
i exhaled until sparks ignited life in you
but i blew too hard
the air was too cold
no, i was too cold
to keep you
you would have been a flame with a heavy heart
with midnight eyes always burning bright
you would have been a flame but blew you out
i was too ashamed
to keep you

meet me down by the water
i'll wrap around you like a sweater
we can watch the hours float by
reflecting off the water
all the time i have wasted
hiding, trying to convince myself:
that the temperature was right in an empty room
and the light was too bright standing next to you
meet me down by the water
i'll hold your head if it is heavy
and you will know
and you will know
it's only you
meet me down by the water
i'll hold your hands when they are empty
and you will know
and you will know
it's only you
