Wash Lyrics

They warned me of the danger

As I slipped into my own

I'll underline the pages

King of an empty throne

Bets and endless wagers

Play your hand and go

I'll sleep out on the table

But if I live alone

Who's back will I wash

Psalm of quiet sickness

A force you can't control

Anoint my head with oils

And pray for a patient soul

Teach me how to whisper

And I'll teach you what I know

On practicing autonomy

But if I live alone

Who's back will I wash

Swallowtails

Butterscotch

Sweaters 'til the end of March

Take me down

To a quiet place

Steal the look right off my face

I'll understand your every word

Chef had made us all desert

Picturesque, cinema

The bluest moon

And the truest sun in the world

I prepare myself for supper

A humble sacrifice

A long-distance runner

Leads a long-distance life

Ghost of another summer

Fills and chills with fright

I cannot help but wonder

Will you be alright

Who's back will I wash

Waterwheels

Building blocks

April signs the end of March

Fallen down

Through a giant hole

Hush my mouth and drench my soul

Softly now

Come to me

Sturdy trees with shaking leaves

Butterscotch

A quiet home

A quiet life altogether

On our own

And I'll buy myself a camera

To paint the time across our face

Like pottery it molds us

Into picture perfect shapes

I swear I saw you smiling

As the light was acting strange

You'd think I'd know my own face

Oh how the two of us have changed

Oh how the two of us have changed

Oh how I hope to God we've changed
