Jenny Hval
Sleeping Spines
[Verse 1]
Whispering words into his back
What you could never tell to his unconscious ears
Draw lines with breath, geometrical shapes
That fit inside poems that you write instead of him
Sleeping spines cushion your love
Licks it from his skin like milk
Where you try to taste his dreams

[Chorus]
Taste his dreams far away

[Verse 2]
Placing your head against his back
His heart (His heart), his pulse (His pulse), his breath (His breath)
To make sure you are alive

[Chorus]
You are alive far away

[Outro]
Far away you'll stay
His heart, his pulse, his breath
You are alive
You are alive
