Wild

(album: Castle Talk - 2010)

I realize in record time
I know I can't change
You've bent my blood
And that's enough
I know I can't change

But that's why
I need you to know
It's wild and cured

I still hear you
Up in my room
You echo up the stairs
You claw the door
And leave a mark
And then you're not there

But that's why
I need you to know
I'm trying
It's wild but they found a cure

Hold your hand
On my head
You can watch me hold the bed
And I'll pretend to me asleep
You may claim me your gold
But I'm not yours to have or hold
You take all that's left of me

But that's why
I need you to know
I'm trying
It's wild but they found a cure

In a plume of smoke
A family ghost
Shows me all her teeth
The brightest white
Like heaven's light
Planting all its seeds

I am walking through our home
