WHERE WE’RE GOING

Oh lover send me secrets down there from the dark fume of the fire/
Into the garden we would walk and ball your body into wire/
And wooden splinters stain the center of your hard and hollow hand/
Burning from bridges bright and breaking from the bottom where they stand/

And you never knew me like I know where we’re going/
So dance like you’re dying and lay down beside me/To leave/

My mother waited cross the river watching babies on the bank/
Our skin would sit inside the water ‘til it shriveled up and shrank/
Out in the day light, we would run to find the kingdom in the cave/
But how I feared the though of sinking in to try and separate/
And now that skin is peeling and your eyes I never see/
They wander on inside the whimsy walls, they fold in front of me/
And if you take away the daughter she will wake up in her sleep/
To find the feeling she had hidden in her heart from everything/

But you never knew me like I know where we’re going/
So stay like you’re leaving and forget what you’re feeling/
Ending
Oh love, you were made to fall from the tunnels and take my body with you.
And I would watch your face as it faded and filled my fingers with fools/
Down I go!
