Oh, don't lean closer now The hands of ire around my throat have found A way to make me singe the berried vine Oh, I, me, mine, the curse Provoked by vanity, no honest word Can come from it, I know, so let me lie From the corners of the bedroom to the kitchen floor We could stain the carmine carpet like the couples before us But I don't think we'll feel the way we feel at all By morning Oh, black wave overhead I let it break above my heart again The water has a way of slipping through Oh, forgive this part of me I haven't felt this way since '23 And I'm struggling to wing the way you do 'Cause it took a while to see it, but the orchard's in bloom And the apple doesn't fall too far out from the root Don't believe a word I say, I'll make it all untrue By morning I'm a solar-powered thinker with the Sun in my veins Guess I carry fuel around with me until the light wanes Just promise to be patient, I'll turn whole again By morning
