lyrics

pull the blanket over both my eyes
i couldn't bleed with dust even if i tried
all eyes on the wish retraction tree
hanging bones with spools of thread
woven from dreams we never got to taste
for tongues taste ash for want of air

sleeping off the sense i get from falling under
these spells of dreams that never seem to grow
stealing eyes with thoughts of wish retraction
the sinew of these hopes undone

pull the blanket over both my eyes
i couldn't bleed with dust even if i tried
i painting skulls with iris covered blinds
that see the bones i hang from limbs
of fox claws, messes, and sleep spun with the seeds of wish retraction

sleeping off the sense i get from falling under
these spells of dreams that never seem to grow
stealing eyes with thoughts of wish retraction
the sinew of these hopes undone
