Only Lonely

(앨범: Paper Crown - 2018)

My fingers are the only bones I want here
She takes me when I share my den and turn my tide
She knows I have a tendency
I make mountains out of stones
And with that timber, burn a hundred fires

I've been around and up and down this road before
I've eaten all the seeds you yearn to give
When I was born she made a garland of the broken weeds
I've always worn it and forever she has lived

How did you know
When I would go
When I swim back to you
I can only tread water while you tend to my other
She is only lonely for you

Back when all her quiet words were thunder
And her answers were all crooked little truths
I was heavy as a hazard
In an unmade bed
A spinning lies
With empires for my youth

How did you know
When I would go
When I swim back to you
I can only tread water while you tend to my other
She is only lonely for you

I can build a nest in any scaffold
Dwelling in the revelry I keep
I'm traveling in a nightmare on a map back to the greenhouse
Take me to the garden where daydreams sleep

How did you know
When I would go
When I swim back to you
I can only tread water while you tend to my other
She is only lonely for you
