I Am No Conqueror Lyrics

I kiss you and see banisters

Kitchen full of herbs

Windows at five o'clock

I'd give you all my future

For a well-set dinner table

I am no conqueror

We came home from

Biking up the big hill

And your apartment building

Was black and without windows

The guts of home

Spilling out the empty space

And the smell of all we planned for

I am no conqueror

All the pieces that we gather

To bring and keep us here

Sleeping with four noisemakers

And sponge stuffed in our ears

Oh the days feel so long

But baby it's been years

I am no conqueror

My hands are numb

And my stomach's sour

You're platinum league in StarCraft

I have two therapists now

I lay with my face to the earth

And my dog sits on my head while I do yoga

I am no conqueror

I am no conqueror

I am no conqueror

Our bodies are frail

We are made of wonder and pain

Christening New York City

By crying on every train

But for you

Oh for you

I'd do it all again

Cause I am no conqueror
