lyrics

It crossed my mind how you had no friends
and to be with me was like floating down a river
I did all that I could just to make you see
that because of me, you had slipped into the water
you stayed by me anyhow
you stood strong the whole way down
come up for air and see my fingers
running through the water, searching
what a mess we made.

I followed you into the last unknown
you go in one way and come back out the other
after running in those circles, do you hit a wall
that brings about a sudden look of horror
the longer you remained
the more foolish I became
turn around, look past the darkness
where the tunnel leads toward me
what a strange look there.

I mumbled nonsense when the fever broke
I asked for you lost somewhere in the ether
in the thickness of the spiral, you appeared to me
I awoke convinced it was you that had just been there
either way you choose to leave
its on your own terms so please
love me as I am, with your horns still in binds,
just a memory of swimming
from a motel bed
I live it again and again.
