lyrics

you had my letter burned
made a tea from the ashes
poured it on the floor
now there's nothing left to hide
our flutes are broken now
i'll shave my head in a vow
to love you all my life
you were the dream i wasn't given time to have
i thought I was taking a nap
but then I woke as a man
with a dream that'll never be you

how to explain i'm just a dummy
i fall onto my face and wake up
with the bruise of you
it's hard to explain
there's nothing to me
i'm just a eunuch
who fell in love again

i float around our town
they built another wine bar
with the darkest bricks
they really turned this town around

i saw a heart of white
graffitied on the wall there
the diners clink their glass
and it echoes through the streets of gray
not even a ghost could stay
there’s no one I know around
no more grass in the ground

i’ll hold you in my head until I’m old
and almost buried in the snow
but i won’t let go
until the deer finds the stream
or i dig my way into another dream

it’s there i’ll explain
i’m just a dummy
i fall onto my face and wake up
with the bruise of you
it’s hard to explain
there’s nothing to me
the servant disappeared
i'm just gonna fall asleep again
