Only Lonely

Lyrics

My fingers are the only bones I want here
 She takes me when I share my den and turn my tide
 She knows I have a tendency
 I make mountains out of stones
 And with that timber, burn a hundred fires
 I've been around and up and down this road before
 I've eaten all the seeds you yearn to give
 When I was born, she made a garland of the broken weeds
 I've always worn it and forever she has lived
 How did you know
 When I would go?
 When I swim back to you
 I can only tread water while you tend to my other
 She is only lonely for you
 ♪
 Back when all her quiet words were thunder
 And her answers were all crooked little truths
 I was heavy as a hazard
 In an unmade bed
 A spinning lies
 With empires for my youth
 How did you know
 When I would go?
 When I swim back to you
 I can only tread water while you tend to my other
 She is only lonely for you
 I can build a nest in any scaffold
 Dwelling in the revelry I keep
 I am traveling in a nightmare on a map back to the greenhouse
 Take me to the garden where my daydreams sleep
 How did you know
 When I would go?
 When I swim back to you
 I can only tread water while you tend to my other
 She is only lonely for you
 
 My fingers are the only bones I want here
 She takes me when I share my den and turn my tide
 She knows I have a tendency
 I make mountains out of stones
 And with that timber, burn a hundred fires
 I've been around and up and down this road before
 I've eaten all the seeds you yearn to give
 When I was born, she made a garland of the broken weeds
 I've always worn it and forever she has lived
 How did you know
 When I would go?
 When I swim back to you
 I can only tread water while you tend to my other
 She is only lonely for you
 ♪
 Back when all her quiet words were thunder
 And her answers were all crooked little truths
 I was heavy as a hazard
 In an unmade bed
 A spinning lies
 With empires for my youth
 How did you know
 When I would go?
 When I swim back to you
 I can only tread water while you tend to my other
 She is only lonely for you
 I can build a nest in any scaffold
 Dwelling in the revelry I keep
 I am traveling in a nightmare on a map back to the greenhouse
 Take me to the garden where my daydreams sleep
 How did you know
 When I would go?
 When I swim back to you
 I can only tread water while you tend to my other
 She is only lonely for you
