Lyrics

Summer noon I can always stay
To radiate what the cello can’t play

She spoke to me and provoked my band
And I broke in two in the heat of her hand

Like a lioness or a coyote
At a pink beating heart in the balcony

I followed the finger to the creature’s gate
In the hubbub where the pitiful congregate

I thought there was a note that I couldn’t hear
So I floated to the whisper up against my ear

Afterwards I found my face in the trash
Really at the core of it it wasn’t so bad

Never leave your mothers womb
Unless you want to see how hard a broken heart can swoon
