Lavender

Come and kiss the unclean hand

For a field of ink below

As I falter on the verge

With a blade in my arms

I'm the ending as it comes

Drawing nearer

Spilling from its mouth

There's a room between the waves

Where I've written my name

For the boulders in death

And the violet you drain

I'm the ending as it comes

Drawing nearer

Spilling from its mouth

You come without

And all falls within

There is a light in the world

There is a stone to the head

And I trace in maps of blood

From my arm to the ground

And I mistook you for the sea

As you washed away this life

I'm the ending as it comes

Drawing nearer

Spilling from its mouth

My beginning as you come

Always clearer

Through the purple blood

I'm the ending as it comes

Drawing nearer

Spilling from its mouth
