Sever Ties 03:51
Sever ties with ungiving Sever ties with ungiving Spread your love beyond its means So I might die Feed me fruit as the fires burn So you can cry And I'll caramelize your tears And we'll crystalize our fear Lover hurry home from jobs So we can sit And sink our teeth Through crusts of bread Into the marrow Sever ties with ungiving Sever ties with ungiving Share our worries at the table Round as the moon And fruitful as a womb Isn't it funny, these words don't bring us money But the carry us through Our doubts deep blue Sever ties with ungiving Sever ties with ungiving Best to bed now Warm in the red light This place is forgiving

Here’s your avenue Make it about you I could take it As long as your put me On a pedestal Come step up to me Tell me what you see Hundred acre stare Unsettle you right where You’re standing there I never know When I’ve gone too Far for you darling I feel like a Child for your love Temperamental Write me a letter On paper that falls apart Just like a tender heart Write me a tune about Everything that you burn Turn it around for me I’ll sit still Simple now it seems I play dilettante to the dream I’ll hold down the fort And you can find your line Walk it just for sport Clear things up for me Simple measure is all we need You’ll go home and I’ll Learn to love you from Afar where I’m alone I never know When I’ve gone too Far for you darling I feel like a Child for your love Temperamental Write me a letter On paper that falls apart Just like a tender heart Write me a tune about Everything that you burn Turn it around for me I’ll sit still I’ll sit still Simple now it seems I play dilettante to the dream I’ll hold down the fort And you can find your line Walk it just for sport

Sit, turn your back It’s not so black and white So wrong or right Nothing really matters now Nothing really matters now So, swing up on your heart’s desire Perch up here and watch the fire from above Cause we’re all burning love We’re all burning love Kiss all cute lips I’ve waited all my life for this Simple love with simple men Holding hands with my old friends My old friends So, swing up on your heart’s desire Perch up here and watch the fire from above Cause we’re all burning love We’re all burning love Burn through your cash I heard they’ll take your trash And turn it into Multi-colored bags They’re beautiful I’m glad So, swing up on your heart’s desire Perch up here and watch the fire from above Cause we’re all burning love We’re all burning love We’re all burning love

It’s your birthday baby And the world’s not right Feel free to cry about it now It’s your party tonight It’s your party It’s your birthday baby So see god in yourself Tears are holy water Bottle them and put them on the shelf For your darkest day For your darkest day Forget the score now Precious, take your bow Today your demons Are sleeping It’s their birthday too This day here’s for you my love Fill it with your things Its edges mold to fit around Only what you bring Only what you bring Laid inside your secret box Baby teeth and letters from someone you lost Laid inside your wooden chest A ball of white yarn that your auntie had left Lay your whole day right inside Lay your whole day right inside Forget the score now Precious, take your bow Today your demons Are sleeping It’s their birthday too It’s your birthday baby And it’s ok to hurt Burn the edges slowly This page is nearly turned I falter while I write these words I still feel very small Years move on and I feel still I know nothing at all I really know it all I’ve lost it once again I know just what I need To be your darling friend To be your darling friend

Tell me what’s On your mind I’ll say it back Make you feel right In sybillant rhyme I’ll crackle the fine Hairs on your neck Blow by blow I’ll show you my fight Fight and my check Fight and my check Fight and fight and Fight Severe in its simple retreat Baby tell me when we can next meet I’ll follow you now We’ll measure the down On your bed Lay down Lay down on your bed Down on your bed Down on your bed Down on your bed Down on down on Down I’m down To wait for you here Maybe cover my eyes and pretend that you’re angry my dear For nothing Spells my love Like thinking of Your bite And counting the marks on my arm
