lyrics

Are you sweet, and am I happy?
Was I complete before you had me?
Now I grow unfinished bones
Can’t un-know the new unknown

I am sick and I am shaking
This is a dream, there’s no mistaking
I am in faith, I am in fear
You are you, and you are here

You’re too rich for my blood, my blood

Oh this feels too raw, too rare
I’m unprepared, I’m unprepared
Never let me from your sight
Pluck the fruit before it’s ripe

You can take it you can have it all

Only truth is what I’m seeking
I’ll follow you where you lead me
to the shadows of my being
Til I’m a grasping mewling thing

We could crawl inside each other
One at a time, under the covers
I thought I tried, I thought I cared
I was scared, I was scared

You’re too rich for my blood, my blood
Once I’m down I reach for you, But you’re adrift and I am too

I can’t take it, you can’t have it all
