lyrics

A golden light her silhouette
Her Breton Skin is already wet
It’s been an hour now
Since we woke to the birds

The water falls down her neck
This holy cage of her breath
I fear the words
That it may hold

For it’s not till now have I known such things
Through the foreign lens of another being
And I’m green
In very sense of the word

A stoic queen seen so much that she’s clean
Experience has showed her for what
is worth giving

And the sun pours in the window frame
we’re showering
Together again

I’m trying not to fuck it up
But I’m almost out of luck

For I’m green in every sense of the word
As we’re swallowed by the light of the world
No ray of light could have anticipated this

Theoretical law is just taking the piss

Momentary to the monument
There’s an active reason why
I hold her body like the fruit of the womb
Of the last mother of mankind

She’s too beautiful
For me
