Brazos - For So Long Now lyrics

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
