lyrics

You're talking with an honesty
the door flies like earnestly up
You're on fire, this could burn me out
I cracklin' fizz and then pop
The reptile mind begats the figure
just trying to weigh the costs
If I were home, I could wrap up in blankets
to keep my cold blood hot
but here a wind increases southward
a fog settles in this aquarium tank
Turns out you're also clawing, hungry!
to be swim and not sank

If only it could be lived still
If only it could slow down
If only it could be lived still
If only it could come back

(rattle rattle)

So tell me sister, were they winding
across the wipers and the street
You grab the grains and boil some water
i'll do my best to hold the leak
And then still talking like shamans
who've lost the virtue of being discreet
Please let me be here to die in this moment
I find the ocean from the creek

If only it could be lived still
If only it could slow down
If only it could be lived still
If only it could come back

(rattle rattle)
