lyrics

make you miss your plane
i'll lash you to the raft
with your arms pinned
and heavy clothes that take in rain
make real sure that we can't swim

your head is full of spoons
hear them rattling around
we are hungry
but no one gets inside there
no one gets inside there again

breathe sure
if you breathe at all

walk sure
if you walk at all

oh, stay.

what kept us afloat
was just the water itself
it didn't know how
the cold compass of my lungs
the wild logic of my skin reads now

but the streets still hold that high note
that says the train is coming

breathe sure
if you breathe at all

walk sure
if you walk at all

oh stay.

don't move
they can hear your weight

don't move
they can smell all movement

stay.
