there is a gap in the place
where you and I met
theres a tree growing
in the holes inside my head

roots dig deep, between monster teeth
savages sing me to sleep

ancient lines, fish bone dry
I ask for night, the sun defies
theres a gap between you and I

back on an island
was floating on the sea
it used to be only me

roots dig deep, between my ribs
the storm came up, we both hid
theres a gap now where our lips met
battered down and broken limbs

fit me like an egg into your nest
I will try to save us from this mess
let go of your sinking tomb
lay on the island, welcome home

watch as our bodies tether together
the roots have done their best
we can rest here forever

theres a tree growing
in the gaps inside my soul
the roots dig deep, my dear pulsing heartbeat
can you feel the space, neither can we.

sea water fever
no island, no bliss, only this
I have lost my mind
drying out like a fish
