[Verse 1]
My skin cracked and the sun came in
It was as fragile as my lips
Shaken and shut
I needed staples in my hips
[Chorus x2]
And I needed arms
But the open air was limbless
And my nervous breath was endless
If only it would stop
[Verse 2]
The neat snap of bone
It was hollowed by your stone
The hot crush of home
It was a subtle lapse, your a heart a map
Of where your veins go
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3]
When your teeth collapsed you made me catch them
Blood in hands and on your halo
The heart was hatched in early hours
We moved to land and watched it grow old
[Verse 3 x2]
Lock your teeth into me
Tangle up your spine;
Nails in your quiver
I had ached in my jaw line
