lyrics

Broken beds cannot be shared.
Broken brains cannot be spared.
And beautiful songs be written.
Fingers will curl at the sound of a word.
Blood rat vinegar crow snap ant murder.
You said it yourself, no one will ever listen.

Tear sheets from bed ‘cause no one will like them.
Stay in the water ‘cause you’ve tried and tried to try them.
Pay you money to find a new clean wall.
Take it as a threat, take it as a sign of depression.
Superstitious schoolwork, and to not know where you
just so happen to be falling to.

Broken beds will burn tonight.
Broken brains will fuel the light.

It’s all right raw,
tribal coils,
and incredible,
incredible shiver.

Broken beds house me and you.
Broken brains flew free and grew.
And now these beds are in the Pacific.
Magnetic walls hold my thoughts.
Are they there still or did they stop?
Riddle me until blue in the face,
and be specific.

I fall, you fall, we fall together
into a love we thought would never
bring about the dead to the open space.
Let’s make it breathe again, necromance,
then we’ll soar in daylight stars to dance
and love forever while time races on.

It’s all right raw,
and I find it wrong.
It’s so incredible now.
It’s so incredible.
