I was born a ghost

An apparition

Filled with holes

and contradiction

And I fear I'm the only one

So I wake early

watch the leaves quake

and the first light braze the trees

I hide myself in a secret place

Here I know my heart

I know it's careless

But, darling, you seem like you're fearless and

maybe you're my perfect fix

My conscience is

My conscience is an avalanche

majestic

bewildering

and holy and careless

I live with the tides

I live in reverence

and know the days are endless, endless

But, darling, you seem like you're anxious

My conscience is

My conscience is an avalanche

majestic

bewildering

and holy and careless

Crooked lust

Crooked lust

My conscience is

My conscience is an avalanche

majestic

bewildering

and holy and careless

Crooked lust

Crooked lust
