you're a fountain of blood
in the shape of a girl
i'm the bird on the brim
hypnotized by the whirl
i drink you, make you feel real
wet my beak in your stream
the game we're playing is life
love's a two way dream
leave me now, return tonight
the tide will show you the way
if you forget my name it will go astray
like a killer whale trapped in a bay
you're a path of cinders
burning under my feet
i'm the one who walks you
your my one-way street
you're a whisper in water
a secret for me to hear
i'm the one who grew distant
when you beckoned me near
leave me now, return tonight
the tide will show you the way
if you forget my name you will go astray
like a killer whale trapped in a bay
you're a tree that grows hearts
and for each that i take
and the ground that you feed on
you're the branch that i break
and life is a necklace of tears
you undo it with your fear
and i am a fountain of fears
you fill me with your tears
our love is a big ball of string
dirt won't collect, it will unwind
our love
