Amidst the glazed sweat of a rural summer
I'm asked to describe an acceptable year
'Unknown by default and choice' I reply
Well what is your plan, what is your plan
To lay all day in a canopied bed
Held by the claws of a stoneless brooch
Sending the air out sigh by sigh
Regretting the start and the middle
The day we squinted at the sun
The day we squinted at the sun

When we were young
We were so tightly buttoned
Now all that I want is to feel the spikes
Cornered and punctured
I'll show you a rupture
I'll show you how a child's blood runs
I'll show you how a child's blood runs

What is the poison they've offered to drink
Where is the door
Can I leave out the back door
'When you were born', he says to me
I saw from your eyes that you'd had been here before'
But I've been deceived, yes he's lied to me
Where is the door can I leave out the back door?
What is the poison they've offered to drink
I can't see a thing but I'll tell him I'm happy
The sleep will come easy
The sleep will come easy

When we were young
We were so tightly buttoned
Now all that I want is to feel the spikes
Cornered and punctured
I'll show you a rapture
Where youth is wasted on the young
Where youth is wasted on the young
Your youth is wasted on your young

You saw a giant leap when I was only crawling
Now I'll never get to sleep
And the coward's way is daunting
You saw a giant leap when I was only crawling
Now I'll never get to sleep

In the sweating throes of my service
Passing coins from hand to hand
I don't have a plan and I don't want a plan
All that I need comes from all that I have

When the string snaps I will kiss your shadow
Piercing my skin with what can't be undone
When the end comes death will not permit an echo
You know how a child's blood runs
You know how a child's blood runs
You know how a child's blood runs
