pyramids of salt

i saw you hiding in the ivy

i know you're too afraid to call

they're getting ready for the winter here

they've gathered pyramids of salt

you saw them having trouble breathing

i know you think that it's your fault

i saw you hiding in the ivy

keeping quiet through the fall

there's a bird inside your rib cage

he screams so i never forget

i wanna break open your sternum

i wanna rip him from his nest

and sow you back up like a garden

growing flowers from your chest

there's a bird inside your rib cage

i keep trying to forget

i drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands

i drew a line in the sand

you washed it away again

i saw you hiding in the ivy

watched the night start to decay

and you wonder in the morning who's gonna drag

the sun out of the lake

you move gently off the sore spots

i can see that you're in pain

everything left in the light here long enough

is someday gonna fade

i drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands

i drew a line in the sand

you washed it away again

i drew a line in the sand with these goddamn worthless hands

i drew a line in the sand

you washed it away again

we're so vacant

these bodies

collapsing

so gracefully

and i love you

and i'm sorry

and i understand if you blame me

and i'm helpless

and you're drowning

and i'm beating at the water here so desperately

i drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands

i drew a line in the sand

you washed it away again

i drew a line in the sand with these goddamn worthless hands

i drew a line in the sand

you washed it away again

don't wash me away again
