Careful of the morning
Careful of the night
Careful of them hunting

The ideas we leave behind
These preachers and their stories
Drunkards and their vows

We clung onto each other
When there was no one else around


Tendons that we are
Tendons stretched too far
Tangled up and heavy

Winding steady
Tender in the dark
We're fractions of a star

Held above a story, for a moment only

I can't decide

What needs building
What needs digging
What needs filling in

This love, this love is like a swarm
We can't see through it
We can't hold thorns


Tendons that we are
Tendons stretched too far

Tangled up and heavy
Winding steady
Tender in the dark

We're fractions of a star
Held above a story, for a moment only


Until it breaks clean
Until it takes me
Until we hollow the thought

Nothing this close can enjoy permanence
I think I understand
The past is circling

Nothing that's lit can be in flames this long

You said, you said I had all the fighting maybe


Maybe it's something
Maybe it's real

Not faded like flowers from yesterday's field
Aimless on a fated road
This life it keeps us hunting cause I'm not home

Throw my bones
Empty me
Held so tight

That's all I see
Let your grief pour into me
Tell me now, is this what you wanted

Is this what you wanted

Let yourself pour into me

Tendons that we are, tendons stretched too far
