lyrics

There are precious rocks inside of me
Cut me open throw them into the sea
Then one of these days a wave will crash
And wash off our bad fantasies
I stood with him starkly on the monastery steps I guess
(goes to show/that’s how it goes)

On a bunk bed in a youth hostel
I looked down at my body from a
Place outside the window it was
Dark rainy I couldn’t see
So I took off for the country
Left a suitcase and a compass bleeding in the snow
(I woke up/eventually oh no)

But child you must always be grateful
A resurrection is a resurrection
And this suspended time sandwiched between
Chaos and chaos
You can try to figure it out
Or realize there is nothing at all to figure out
(but oh God/but I don’t wanna die)

‘Cause if you wander into the city for long enough
You’re bound to find a construction site
And if two lights are placed next to each other
Two lights are bound to blink in unison
We take what we can
Why not listen when a bell ring breaks silence?
(Tumbleweed/do what you need)

There are precious rocks inside of me
Is there anything beyond alone?
(I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know)

Do you remember when we stole the wine from
Behind the alter’s curtain?
We sunk into the grapevines of a
Holy humid lost time
We held hands on the altar and drank
The fruit forbidden from our ancestors
(and their ancestors/forever and ever)

And we stood up on the holy table
Knocked knuckles on the tabernacle
Waited for some kind of response
Waited for the Holy Spirit
To lift us off our feet like a cheap carnival ride
(gold tokens/funnel cake)

There are precious rocks inside of me
Is there anything beyond?
I don’t know
