lyrics

I dreamt I was a falcon
outrunning the plague
and woke up a month later
to find that everything was still the same
is this what stability feels like
as dull as only home can be?

I'm not drunk, I'm not high,
I'm sad and still in love
I last touched wine on Christmas Eve
to flush what I'd hoped were the
last traces of you from my body
Took to sleeping like a holy rite
I never knew your hand upon me
but I want to, I want you
even now

I dreamt I was a puppet
and I was fine, finding I liked
to be at your mercy
liked having you be mine
is this bliss the absence of pain, or
should i fear some greater ecstasy?

I dreamt I was a falcon
And in that dream, I was yours
