The Place Where He Inserted the Blade

You're scared of a world where you're needed

So you never made nice with the locals

But you tied me up slow with your vine stuff

It takes a few years but they break bones

It takes a few months but our bones heal

We're stronger and we tell all our school friends

They sign our cast in the playground

Darling, the rest of my body is yours then

And I know

You're scared

I am scared too

But every time I try to make lunch

For anyone else in my head

I end up dreaming of you

And you come to me

Good morning

Show me the place where he inserted the blade

Or praise the Lord

Burn my house

I get lost

I freak out

You come home and hold me tight

As if it never happened at all

Good morning

Show me the place where he inserted the blade

Good morning

Where is your light? Am I home?

I will hold to my chest where the wind can't exist

I will try not to keep you too long

So clean your soup maker and breathe in

Your chicken broccoli and everything

The tug that's between us that long string

Concorde, Bound 2 and my evening

The good hunter's guide to a bad night

Darling, I'll spoil it myself, thanks you're leaving

Well, I tried just to stroke your dreams better

But darling, I see that you're not really sleeping

But I know

You're tired

Well, I'm tired too

But every time I try to make lunch

For anyone else in my head

I end up dreaming of you

And you come to me

Good morning

Show me the place where he inserted the blade

Or praise the Lord

Burn my house

I get lost

I freak out

You come home and hold me tight

As if it never happened at all

Good morning

Show me the fifth or the cadence you want me to play

Good morning

Show me where to tie the other end of this chain
