HEAVENLY LINEN

Look what we do for a easy life Just surrender the loot to the wheel of time We gotta put on our boots and begin the climb And with the stars aligned I am ready to dive in the river Ready to see the full depth of the ocean Want a little bit more than my quotient Wanna set something in motion Living in poetry and in emotion I wanna be wholesome I used to have a great big sweet tooth But one day I think I just bit right through Got more than I could realistically chew Wake up to rain hammering on the roof And the tessellated minutes With a separated spirit Weave them together on the rhythm Yeah, that's a heavenly linen I hid underwater, breathing through a reed Waiting to be given just what I need Bitterness and aniseed Multiplying me when I'm asleep Redefining me, I cannot breathe Everybody gets lost in the weeds So serious, furious, far out right Soothsayers get polarised Little insects trapped in the light That's a lunar instinct, to capitalise I don't know what we were thinking We bleed without blinking I fell out the wrong side of bed in the morning Feel like I'm in mourning But sunrise is golden when tundra is bleak And I contradict myself when I but speak And all of these melodies stolen Whistling through the holes in me Sailing right over my peak, so Take all advice on the cheek Keep your shield on the wise and the weak
