Written, performed, and recorded by Ó

lyrics

A denseness cloaked our bedroom
with curtains drawn and our eyes closed
my nose to your dripping nose
as the scream of the steaming heater grows
In your hands I found a tranquil solidity
a way to realize stability
and in your eyes a mystery I thought unparalleled
a coldness in the darkness of your pupils as they swelled
You hold the light, the light
the covers pulled up to your nose
you're cold, your eyes
your eyes are covered
how can I hold you when there's nothing left to hold?
In your hands I found a thoughtful stillness
a way to forget the recent bouts of illness
in your eyes I found a perfect, feral citadel
I was curled up, damp, and aimless at the bottom of a well
You block the light, the light
you cover the only source of warmth I know
now cold and curled, I'll hold no other
how can I hold you when there's nothing left to hold?
You block your light, your light
you cover the only source of warmth I know
now cold and curled, I'll hold no other
Who will hold you when there's nothing left to hold?
