You are the last light 
Bringing the night quiet 
Letting the day down as soft as you can 

Mine is a wild breath 
muddied and torn dress 
Holding it in from the flames for as long as I can 

You don’t know how to hold me ‘cause I’m kicking the walls 
You’re giving all you’ve got and I keep asking for more 
You feel like you should kiss me but I’m gnashing my teeth 

You fear that you will miss me but you beg and pray for release 

Yours is a cool breeze 
With eyes like the green sea 
Soft as the clouds that I feel whenever you breathe 

Mine is a curved line 
It knots with the minds eye 
As steady as man’s love for the things he can’t see 

I don’t know how to see you when your head’s in the sky 
You don’t know how to [bad word] me when I say that I try 
I lie inside this madness ‘cause I know what I’ve found 
I’ve found that I am free, my love, keep me bound 

heart that needs to feel you hold it down 
Once filled with wings now heading for the ground
