Yesterday you came to lift me up As light as straw and brittle as a bird Today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall Just one more whisper of a voice unheard Tomorrow leave the windows open As fear grows please hold me in your arms Won't you help me if

Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it Somewhere for this, death and guns We are deaf, we are numb Free and young and we can feel none of it Any way to distract and sedate Adding shadows to the walls of the cave You and I nursing on a poison

I want you all to myself Let our bodies do the talking I want you here in my arms We'll hide away in the dark Go and let your long hair fall I want you all, all, all to myself We don't need anyone else Let our shadows paint the wall Slip your hand in my
