lyrics

Try to hide these flags
they keep climbing up
up and up and up
Garish and sweaty
100 knotted snakes
writhing round and round
Delicate as crystal
in my hand
hard as diamonds to your heel
Keep trying to pull them down
they'll just keep on rising up
Keep trying to pull them down,
they'll just keep on rising up

At the top of the night before the descent
as if nothing sticks
throw back the sheets
reveal faultless skin
if only we were a picture
you could reconfigure
you might reconsider

Let drop
the white curtain
raised in surrender
empty your hands
as if nothing matters
at last

your shoulders are tensed and strong
I'm a burden and a song
my eyes closed when your back turned
and opened just to see you gone

Nocturne darkness fades to none
before I've slept it's all done
you've seen me grow to hate the dawn

At the top of the night
before the descent
as if nothing sticks
throw back the sheets
reveal faultless skin
if only we were a picture
you could reconfigure
you might reconsider.
