mallows Lyrics

One night, I saw a hand come out of the water

As a shroud of darkness began to shudder

"Could you help me come back down to earth?

I'm longing for a second birth"

And she handed me a bunch of mauve flowers

She kissed my breast and blew all over my skin

Cello melodies to scatter to the wind

"If you fall, I will fall with you

It's worth falling if we follow through

It's worth falling as long as we're not crashing down"

She lay down on her own in the midnight sun

She pulled the petals off all mallows but one

"Treat twilight with gentlest caution

Timelessness is not an option"

Yearning seems so close and images so remote

And memory feels like a lump in my throat

You, reaching for a glimpse of dateless daylight

I, craving for a glass of sodium nitrite

"Music fades as days go by

I died last year, didn't I?

I have failed you like I have failed everyone"

Mallows withered long ago in the noonday sun

"Some memories just glide on the surface

Others spring up in a random place"

No parting words to etch on the walls of silence
