lyrics

I tried to tell you I was wretched, and you say it isn’t so
You say I see the ways you’re held
I only see the things I hold
Like when I hold with brittle fingers, to this world of flesh and bone
You say the whole thing holds us in, I guess I worry that it won’t

So when I’m crawling out my skin
When I am sounding the alarm
You say the whole thing moves in love and I can rest my human form
Inside the fold of something bigger
Inside the safety of the swell
The thing that calls us always further
Beyond the confines of ourselves

And you, my trusty house of mirrors
you bring me bread and flowers in a thousand shades of sugar
And more than I could ask
My lovely apparition, you find me on the corner and you take me home again

I tried to tell you I was sorry and you told me not to be
You said I don’t need your confession, would you just come outside and see
That she is changing up her face again, she is shifting in her skin
And every time I think I see her, she goes and changes form again

Still I felt like saying sorry, I felt like bowing down my head
If I cannot be your beloved, can I still bring you tea and bread
Can I still stand with you in wonder, as the creature she unfolds
And the illusion loses hold

And you, my trusty house of mirrors
you bring me bread and flowers in a thousand shades of sugar
And more than I could ask
My lovely apparition, you find me on the corner and you take me home again
