I Felt Your Hands Lyrics

In the midst of a cold night

On the cotton bed padded with dreams

I lay myself down

Through the hippo's camp flows a stream

Above clouds in the sky

In a garden beneath my mantle I appear

I get up, eyes wide closed

A silhouette forms in a powerful gleam

I felt your hands

I started swallowing roses

Your eyes glisten with thousands of stars

And I am the one you have chosen

I feel like I'm blooming

The birds have started chirping once again

I've climbed life's mountains

Now I rest within your birdhouse head

How sad it must be to be alone

Forever in this life alone

So we sit watching the ferns perk up

We watch the sun rise from below

Cotton steps reform now

Paving a path for me to get up and go

I've to leave now

But we won't be far apart for too long

Wake up

These things are works of fiction

The roses you swallow and the ferns that perk up

Are robotic mutations of whatever you want most

You're chewing on metal

Wake up

Why did you go and leave my love

So many things undone my love

As if you never even were

Your eyes glimmered from ceiling lights above

How sad it is to be alone

My cotton beds had run their course

Your gleam had turned into car lights

Maybe this romance never was, but

Even then I'll build you statues

I'll search for moss within the dead

I'll play notes on my dumb guitar

And hope you'll fall back right into my hands

Beneath The Heart there is The Knowing

You're a lie I made up for myself

But I just want to swallow roses

And chew on metal once again
