For so long now I've been eating from your mouth that my insides are sore and stuffed
For so long now god i know I don't know
I listen i leave, I break like the twigs on a tree
I know but I don't know
You make me so sure like nothing matters
You make me so sure
We're dwarfs, tables crush us under this blanket in the storm
It's warm and the tin roof above us fills with summer hail
The jungle all covered in ice our words are there too
They dangle above us, like dusty chandeliers in a colonial house
There must not be too many hours left here for us now
Midnight arrives and we remember the day we met
Riding the steamer away from port
Pa**ing mines and bear back workers on the shore
Every night we return to walk the black tunnel
And pick diamonds from the wall
Sabotage and since then every moment with you i claw
This world has been a dream
Like gently running fingernails along our front porch screen
What have we done but live here naturally
Our fortunes are made
Tomorrow we carry them home
Across that great blue body with fingers tied
In knots and bows and little monsters in our throats
We take them home
For so long now
I know I don't know
