Aperture

Out along the silver shore

We stood naked in the night

Held my face inches from yours

Kiss me 'til the morning

My shape is putty in your hands

By the way, I love you so bad it hurts

You'll never leave your woman out in the cold

But I

Carved my face in gold

Who knows, who knows?

Maybe I'll carve it right next to yours

You'll never know, will you ever know?

The beach looks starving in winter

Wide awake, I notice the aperture

My light pours in

Just like I always let it

But I lost my weight in gold

Just to set it at your door

Who knows?

Maybe I have something that you need

That you can't let go of

No matter what you're told

Who knows?

How, how, how

How, how, how long 'til I wear it out?

And I tear it down

'Til I wear this out

And I tear it down

Who knows how deep

Who knows how shallow

These roots are

You're losing weight, I'm losing sleep

No one's overthrown (ah, ah)

I noticed the aperture

I notice the aperture

My light poisoned
