lyrics

When I was a child I didn't understand that
I couldn't place rose stems in other peoples ears
I don't know why I thought that I shouldn't even bother
But I can't tell you from your sister or your brothers.

When I met you my metals were all weakened
Held over flames with my vices deepened
I couldn't see all the needles in your black
I found your yellows but they're never coming back

Now I see your face in dreams and folded papers
I want to kiss you but I don't know what your name is
I dug all I could my fibres began to fray
I want to kiss you when you're just a million atoms away.

I'll be your baby boy if you just let me die
I'll be your baby boy if you just let me die

You're all swelled up and you've found yourself no lover
You're not coloured like your sister or your brothers
We can't be feeling this all fabric and fragile
Run your flowers down the coarseness of these textiles

When the first was born we fed him through the filter
He had eyes all wet and round that went off-kilter
A flood of burnt up light occluding my silhouettes
and where I blocked them the atoms still made it through the net

I'll be your baby boy if you just let me die
I'll be your baby boy if you just let me die

When the whites came in all straight and neatly pressed
Your hair stood up and then fell off of your chest
Is there still life inside your truths do you worry
When I wear your silks I feel so sorry

Now I see your face in dreams and folded paper
Hang me from your ceiling I would not degrade you
I know you're not mine I know you're bereft
I want to kiss you but there's not a million atoms left

I'll be your baby boy if you just let me die
I'll be your baby boy if you just let me die
You'll be my favourite girl if you just let me die
