Amaranthine

Press my heart in your heart like leaves

Flattened between heavy pages, fall asleep

In a knotted heap, I cannot breathe

I don't want to be anything

Press my heart in your heart like leaves

Flattened between heavy pages, fall asleep

In a knotted heap, I cannot breathe

I don't want to be anything

Press my heart (jealous of your happiness)

In your heart like leaves (and ashamed to feel at all)

Flattened between (forest light)

Heavy pages fall asleep (slowly flow and fleeting)

In a knotted heap (disintegrated, roaring in my rest)

I cannot breathe (thundering cannons)

I don't want to be anything (loud enough to wake the dead)
