lyrics

she wrapped me in silver
put a rose in my hair
she slept on my sea floor
and answered my prayers

she reached for me softly
with sugar on her tongue
but our kisses were salty
and turning me numb

how do you speak so sweetly
and still turn my corners to dark
how do you breathe so deeply
and fill my lungs
with these shards of green and blue

come with me under water
we’ll dive way down where they bite at our knees
sand and branches, dinner time dances

come with me under water
it’s been so long since we last spoke
transfer your bruise to banyan tree roots, i know

you’re in some glass galaxy forgetting me now
but i’m trying to hold onto me and remember somehow
i still have my starfish, my skin and my scales
i listen for whale songs and i’m chasing their trails

come with me under water
i’ll hold your hand if you’re afraid, you said
the smell of your soap, the reef always knows

i’ll still be under water
i’ll pick a few plants and fill up my photo frame
fingers unpainting, slowly erasing

flying and falling and falling
floating and floating
and glowing and glowing
growing and growing
and reaching and reaching
i’m born of the reeds in the reef
