lyrics

------------------------------------------------------------------

and now some part of you is trapped inside that attic
with boxes full of corkscrews and pictures of your family

and you clean his skin
disinfecting him
as you watch him growing thinner

and we both know what the smell is like
and we have both watched our families die
but you have had to carry them
to the beds in which they'll lie

and shit and piss and blood and tears have covered both our hands
but you have had to wash yours
over, and over again

but over, and over i'll hold you
and rub my head into your head
and even if we become new people
we will find eachother again

and we will stare up at the domes
and know we must face the unknown
but, we own the path in our bones
and it will guide us home

and years ago i lost all my love
and you helped me gain it back
so please, when you feel far away
do not forget that
