lyrics

Been pacing brick paved alleyways to streetlight my pen on the page
In search of hidden messages inside my mind's dark passages
I’ve spent these waning days with Sophie stuck inside my head
Steeping mint and minting sleep on documents in bed

I woke up in a dream state with your record still playing
An open book my pillow in the corner her ghost
Pulsing to the harp she seems to have been conjured from
She tells me of the in-between and all my words to come

Love notes to the one who sang to me about Camus
Calliope’s calligraphist or Joanna as some knew
Did Sophie’s wrench come swinging through your lullabyllic tune?
The answer to the question we all want the answer to

We walk like weeping willows wading through some great divide
Sophie and Joanna in a synapse near my grandma
Where all are free to toy with me like children in the night
Jarring teeth and breathing deep and on my mind’s veranda
Was it Sophie or Jostein who brought grandma back to life?
And are tiny hairs that stand on end a dream that came to light?
Across one thousand miles of starry eyes all cast on you
You staked a claim within me did you know what it would do?

You exist in me but do I exist in you exist in me but do I exist in you exist in me but do I exist in you exist in me but do I exist in you exist in me but do I exist in you?
