lyrics

I tried to shake you off but you were like a second skin. I tried to break your back but your spine grows back and sings. So let the streetlight light the stage set for your military band. Let the words rise to your lips and scatter them like sand. When I hear you I believe.

In the false white light you were looking like a queen, with a hard luck story where your halo should have been. So take your corrugated words, cut them into your hands. Let the sunrise like a surgeon, cut the darkness from your head. When I see you I believe

I will see you light up, all the colours will burn through the sheets and I’ll run.
