lyrics

you got plans to meet god in the shake of your hand
it’s where we planted our wood and strings in the sand
a makeshift garden in the crease of your palm
where no callous could grow
nor anything at all

“i wanna watch you exist for as long as i can”
sacrifice sleep together again on the fluorescent sand
but we were too small, and far too scared to grow
just animals with bitter pills that we struggled to swallow

when the tide is low our ghosts marvel at the shadows they cast
they are restless for a future, one that i'm still trying to get past
you said this world will cannibalize the weak, but i disagreed
well, it was easy to be optimistic when i was young and naive

after a few thousand miles in the unforgiving heat, i saw
it it looked just like me
but it had your teeth
