lyrics

If I could give you a lobotomy
Take all your ought-to-be's
Replace them with the thought of me
Atop a plot of trees
A ways away from anything
responsibility
And holding up a picture frame
To give you honesty
To give you holy sovereignty
over all who wanna be
You hold your own astronomy
I dare you'd do believe

In every star and galaxy
The way you wave away
The way your boots are wearing in
There's art in razor blades
The way you sleep in seraphim
The way you fade away

If I could take the part of you
that seizes up at night
that sulfur-burns your softening
that blisters up in light
if I could take the knives of you
and hold them dear enough
that danger in the shining lies
we've had our fear enough

If I could take the spears of you
if I could swallow all the barbs
If I could take the wheel for you
If could learn to turn the arc
If I could cut your brain apart
I'd take the piece that makes your mind to turn to dark

and I would give you picture frames
and bring you out to rows of
trees on top of silhouettes
and sit you down between
the reed and rotten filaments
and in her hair we’d lay and bare our barest sentiments
id give you residence

in every breath of offering
id stop at nothing you could
catch fall in softening
and see between the trees
the leaves a falling off of them
the way the take to breeze
and what it takes the breath
the way it takes to see that
you're ok the way that leaves fall
