bed magnets Lyrics

The day rose up and our tasks stood over us like tall tales, miniature we lay in our own world

Minutes to alarm clock flaked away, the seconds dribbled away like lukewarm glaciers

I felt my hair seep into your linen, our skin became weighted down and magnetized to the cotton

During the night when we turned our backs, our shoulder blades clicked together like fallen angels

The snooze clock holds us hostage while the ransom note barters for time

Who will make the first move out

I rocked gently, as if I were trying to find the escape hatch with my toes

I tried to move my arm away and my limb shot back into position that pinned me down

You tried to turn away and your leg snapped back like it was fighting inertia

Is it far-fetched to say that my imagination can keep us here all day

An option to freeze what I desire, let me disturb what the gods have created in metal with time

I'm not sure if it's needed because we surely have become bed magnets
