about

The wanderer escapes the orphanage, but is haunted by dreams.

lyrics

I found a test of salt
in the eaves of a dream.
My nerves fought to endure
the rapid movements of my eyes,
but the hallways and the stories
my sleeping brain made up
tangled tighter than the knots
you tied me in your lies.

In turbulent floral-print linen
you become one with him,
while I hang hidden outside of your window
humming, "Let me go."

Desperation is in the eye of the beholder
and you keep one hooked right above his shoulder.
On a bed sheet ladder in a dream
your eyes are a color unknown to me.

In turbulent floral-print linen
you become one with him,
while I hang hidden outside of your window
humming, "Let me go."

your tongue was sharp and sly
and piercing in a way only you could.
your skin was a poison that would kill me
in a way that only you could.

In turbulent floral-print linen
you become one with him,
while I hang hidden outside of your window
screaming, "Let me go."
