lyrics

When I was a blank canvas to be painted
I thought to be everything I contemplated.
But I covered my eyes
For the rest of the night.

She spoke so lightly
She told me she'd be waiting.
She gave me an heirloom
Her mother was saving.
You need to be alive
So I could believe
That I'm not naked
And there for all to see
Chasing your shadow
And trying not to breathe.

Once you were a seed
A sparkle in their eyes.
Did you dream of empty gardens
To sow your lips and give them life?
Your sun kissed skin
Has always done me in.
But I'm on the threshold
Of starting where I end.
I'm on the threshold
Of starting where I'll end.

Once I was a ghost
On the cusp of crossing over.
I checked my insides
Made sure that I'm a donor.
I was empty enough
I was finally in love
When we were naked
And there for all to see
Chasing the vapors
That were left of you and me.
