Light Through the Linen

So you don't know what I'm asking Or you think I have no right To want more than is customary To feel like I'm alive So we're knelt down on the kitchen floor Wishing to disappear Counting down from twenty For the hundredth time this year I see light through the linen When I open up my eyes After years of this cavernous Endless nighttime I see lotus flowers Blossom in the mud I see every white petal fight To open one by one I see light through the linen I'm underneath the table Head back on the wood And you ask if we can start over Back to what was good And something in me dilates A shifting off the ground And I come to you like I used to But with my eyes open now I see light through the linen When I open up my eyes After years of this cavernous Endless nighttime I see lotus flowers Blossom in the mud I see every white petal fight To open one by one I see light through the linen I see light through the linen Mmmmmm I see light through the linen When I open up my eyes After years of this cavernous Endless nighttime I see lotus flowers Blossom in the mud I see every white petal fight To open one by one I see light through the linen I see light through the linen I see light through the linen I see light through the linen
