LYRICS:
through your eyes i see
the smile you bring to me
to your joy i tether
not a lot, just forever
intertwined, sewn together
like the rock bears the weather
not a lot, just forever
my dog barks wildly
to protect my infancy
from my ex-believer
i try to calm the wolf
to remind her i am both
still, she tears at my sweater
not a lot, just forever
intertwined, sewn together
as the wren sheds her feather
not a lot, just forever
your dearest fantasy
is to grow a baby in me
i could be a good mother
and i want to be your wife
so i hold you to my knife
and i steal your letter
not a lot, just forever
intertwined sewn together
as the rock wears the weather
not a lot, just forever
so, i bash around the house
the poison stains my mouth
she comes, i let her and
we share a paradise (pair of dice)
i roll them once or twice
can’t get much better
not a lot, just forever
intertwined, sewn together
as the rock bares the weather
not a lot, just forever
not a lot, just forever
intertwined, sewn together
as the wren bares her feathers
not a lot, just forever
