lyrics

You tore me apart
And soon our bodies were enmeshed
I felt so blessed
To see your stained glass heart
Beating through your paper flesh
And I’ll pour every drop of my blood into you
So you can rest

Your sapphire eyes
Were refracting a spectrum I couldn’t see
And I felt free
To see those colors
Painting a gentler picture of me
And I found myself falling slowly deep into a green and gold and blue
And violet sea

I want to absolve you
Of all of our sins
Our Mothers’, our fathers’ and mine
Then maybe I could resolve you
To stay in love with every love that’s ever been
And I swear to god that I will hold on close to you
‘Til everything is fine

‘Cause you showed me Orion
And I showed you the constellations on your skin
You had been cryin’
Over a lie scrawled everywhere my eyes had been
But I saw through it
And read a story plain as day
Spelled out in the freckles
Splashed across your body like the Milky Way
And they were staffed out on your body just like notes
So we gathered them together and we wrote
Some music we could play
