[Verse 1]
You were talking on Zoom about women in ancient Greece
Compared to the myths where they were represented
I sat across from you, reading Ulysses
I sat across from you, reading Ulysses
And whilst I try to project some intellect
I'm not convinced I knew what it all meant
But I did know that the words were so pretty
I did know that the words are so pretty

[Pre-Chorus]
(One, two)

[Chorus]
I will give you my palm to help you walk through the hurtful
Want to give you that calm that you have so long searched for
Whilst I make space for all the parts of me
That I do not want, I let them be
As minds twist through the fractured expanse of our being
Expanse of our being

[Post-Chorus]
We mend together, gaze to Cassiopeia
We mend together, gaze to Cassiopeia
We mend together, gaze to Cassiopeia
We mend together, gaze to Cassiopeia
[Verse 2]
And the rough our diamond was in seemed so rough
But no one bothered to start digging it up
But we carved our own pickaxe from the rubble with our teeth
With our teeth
Because life is beautiful but life is work
So full of joy, so full of hurt
The starlight feeds us in the dirt
Before I wake you with coffee and peace

[Chorus]
I will give you my palm to help you walk through the hurtful
Want to give you that calm that you have so long searched for
Whilst I make space for all the parts of me
That I do not want, I let them be
As minds twist through the fractured expanse of our being
Expanse of our being

[Post-Chorus]
We mend together, gaze to Cassiopeia
We mend together, gaze to Cassiopeia
We mend together, gaze to Cassiopeia
We mend together, gaze to Cassiopeia

[Bridge]
I hear the secret whisperings of the world
In the curves of all your bursts of laughter
You are so beautifully, so brutally out of comprehension
And how lonely I was in the before and after
[Chorus]
I will give you my palm to help you walk through the hurtful
Want to give you that calm that you have so long searched for
Whilst I make space for all the parts of me
That I do not want, I let them be
As minds twist through the fractured expanse of our being
Expanse of our being

[Outro]
We mend together, gaze to Cassiopeia
We-we mend together, gaze to Cassiopeia
