｡𖦹°‧

after all, darling, i wouldn't sell the world
for all the gold or sterling.

i wouldn't fall for someone i thought couldn't misbehave.

i’ve no language left to say it.


i called your name
’til the fever broke.

i prayed my mind
be good to me.

i heard a scream
in the woods somewhere.

there's not one thing that i would change.

you don't understand,
you should never know.

out here trying to feel good again.

bhfuilis soranna sorcha
ach tagais 'nós na hoíche
is claochlú an ealaín
is ealaín dubh í.

to the bliss of not knowing yourself.

it's not the waking,
it's the rising.

when i was a child, i heard voices.
some would sing and some would scream.

the purest expression of grief.

some part of me came alive
the first time that you called me, "Baby".

soft and as pure as snow.

soaring over a world you are carrying.
if these heights should bring my fall.
let me be your own.

nothing fucks with my baby.

the sun hesitates more
on each evening's darkening.

it's not the wall,
but what's behind it.

and sit unseen
with only the inner upheld.

you keep telling me to live right
to go to bed before the daylight.

once i had wondered
what was holding up the ground
i can see that all along, love
it was you all the way down.

the scales we hung,
the breakin' of hook and chain.

some would sing
and some would scream.

there's something tragic about you.

something so wholesome about you.

i clutched my life
and wished it kept
my dearest love
i’m not done yet.

the Icarus to your certainty.

‘cause if secrets were like seeds
keep my body from the fire
hire a gardener for my grave
your secret is safe with me.

feeling more human and hooked on her flesh.
i lay my heart down with the rest at her feet.

now that the evening is slowing
now that the end's in sight
honey, it's easier knowing what you'd do to me tonight.
