I made a desert
Called it peace, broken with a topaz fist
Do you know you're a lovely old soul?
Fruit of my dawn, a mist settled in my marrow
Through my heart like an arrow
I feel bruises between hemispheres
Left by sweet proximity, squandered in your fair city
Where I spent all my time getting high
Feeling so worried, out of my mind
But in my darkest throes, you could have been my open door
Now I keep falling out of myself
Out of space and time where I'm never going to leave you
Where you're mine, I'll never stray
Oh, I ask you to stay, but still I fade
I made a desert
Shadows on the vector with a shade of chrome
Underneath blue skies
I stepped around my own encryption code
With you in my marrow, through my heart like an arrow
Covet you, and I'll creep by the note you left
In a bountiful dwelling
Where I spent all my time getting high
Feeling so worried, out of my mind
But in my darkest throes, yeah, you could be my open door
But I keep falling out of myself
Out of space and time where I'm never going to leave you
Where you're mine, I'll never stray
Oh, I ask you to stay, but still I fade
So I'll attach my ghost unto your sweetness
Through the white noise, white noise
So that you may visit me in the night
The night shows you are sleek; I am Tinder
Ember that I harbor (in you I grow so tired, in you I grow so tired)
Do you know you're a lovely old soul?
Fruit of my dawn, a mist settled within my marrow
Oh, but you don't know. No, you don't know, you don't know
You're the hymn on the pulpit; the arch up above
The marigold thunder I hear on the distant storm
Oh, I still feel it's reign in my bones
It's the sinew of my merit that is swelling with your love
As swift as it is tender, it echoes through my soul
Without it, I'm left in this moment
With all I wanted to say
And I keep falling out of myself
Out of space and time where I'm never going to leave you
Where you're mine, I'll never stray
Oh, I ask you to stay, but still I fade
