lyrics

Remember when the sun was a pregnant orb 
nestled in her nest in the heart of the sky,
Her tongue unfurled to drink moisture from the stone,
drove the moon underground to hide from her thirst

Ch: We lay side by side, 
Painting stars in empty rooms.
We name our constellations 
After days we never knew.

A map forms ‘round your eyes, marks the place
Between here and where you once stood
you turned away, hiding pale, cracked lips 
I knew that you were fractured, eroding, turn to dust

Ch: We lay side by side, 
Painting arrows on our nails
We name our constant target 
After a place we never went

You kiss me desperate under false moon glow
Your mouth tastes of sand and the sky is stained
I remember, a mirror, darker still recollection
I love them though they’re not real

Ch: We lay side by side, 
Painting faces on our palms
We name our future home
After ghosts we’ve never know
Ch: We lay side by side, 
Painting sunlight in our eyes
We name our falsehoods closely 
After dreams we need to grow
