Amphibious, Androgynous

Lyrics

[Intro] In my dream, you are slippery My interest grows immediately You have seaweed between your fingers Lips, and legs Amphibious, androgynous Amphibious, ninety-eight percent water [Verse 1] I try to write love songs But my words remain in my hands And my hands fall to the floor Somewhere in the distance, something hurts [Verse 2] I dream I have a lover made out of twigs I snap his legs and snap his lips when we kiss He has your hair [Refrain 1] The way it curls This worries me The dream doesn't fade It keeps worrying me [Verse 3] I try not to hurt you, but in my dream The twigs keep breaking I touch so gently, but they snap And when you open your mouth [Refrain 2] To speak You make no sound Silently coughing up black sap [Verse 4] In real life, I haven't even seen you up close Only from below In the dream, you are silent, and I am the headsman I try to write love songs [Refrain 3] But with every word I can hear the twigs breaking Somewhere in the distance, something hurts [Outro] The next day, it is I who break It's a clear spring day, and I fill with sky Ninety-eight percent blue That day, I find myself downing black things Coffee, raisins, raw chocolate I can feel my bones burn to coal My blood burns to oil, black sap I'm becoming you
