lyrics

Purple velvet on the nightstand watching us fall
Dim light casting weak shadows up so tall
And all the wrapping cast aside
We are open.

All the day's miles away on the floor.
You can still hear the cat past the door,
But for a few hours we'll hide.
We are clean.

And there's nothing that I have left to say.
Tied tongues tumble and stumble in the way
Of the quiet faint rumbling of our breath.

There were times before I'd dream of flight
Or be hunted by wolves through the night,
But here burrowed in bed
We lie safe within its breadth.

And I will make me better
So I don't burn this home to the ground.
From all the black flies and stormy weather
I will seal us good and tight
Build a roof from whatever can be found.
