lyrics

Sweetness lays easy, as fire does to coal,
but my love she kept dreaming of ways to dissolve,
they picked her apart, while she cried silently,
my love you keep dreaming, for both you and me.

Your body lay trapped in the station,
where I heard you cry a wish to help fly.
But you're wings they kept disappearing,
as we made goodbyes the smoke filled our eyes,
If only to die.

Do you remember the spring when the junipers grew,
they grew through the concrete and I picked some for you,
but you never saw them and you never saw spring,
they choked you in winter with the darkness of sin.

All my friends they keep leaving,
they turn out their lights, and wait to divide.
Oh my sweet God will you leave me, If I close my eyes and drink through the night.

it's okay, take what you need, I'll be your amelie love, when death comes to greet me in dreams, and dissolve everything, become dust on old juniper leaves, and sleep when the sun meets the sea.

Drowned teeth, are worth much more than this,
what it is, to be free.
