A song about...
Breath, sinking, a world of arbitrary repetition
What we can do for those we love
I can't stitch up your soul
But you won't disappear
lyrics
The jellyfish are here again
Saturation, you want to get in
You want to spend the night with me
Dense and tight, the coat of the sea
Ooh ahh
Delicious, vicious, expanding distance
You're right to be afraid, you cannot fix this
You want a taste, I take a risk
Your wings'll melt my Icarus
And if you lose again
Embrace the pain, like a man
Heart transplant
You want a heart transplant
You want to hide inside my narrow gauge
I'm too precise, you've no room for range
Won't pull you through, I won't accommodate
I can't dissolve your truth, can't erase your hate
Oh this needle that you push
And these stitches that you sew
Cannot make your buttonhole
No embroidery to show
My feed dogs can't support you
Like an artificial limb
You'll have to fix yourself
From within
And if you lose again
Embrace the pain, like a man
Heart transplant
You need a heart transplant
-----
Still waiting for you...
Come back Sunday morning through a world
Rotated, drifting...
I cannot breathe for you
I cannot see for you
I cannot beat for you
I cannot bleed for you
I cannot heal your wounds
I cannot make you whole
I can't stitch up your soul
You taste my body, don't you run from the toll
But if you let me peak right here
I won't let you disappear
I will not let you down
I will not let you drown
Then you won't disappear
No you won't disappear
You want a heart transplant
You need a heart transplant
I'll be your heart transplant
