lyrics

step away
step away from everything

such tiny dreams
swallowing them is easy
give him your freedom
and he’ll be your teacher
he’ll name you, his brand new chestnut
then one day you awaken
and find he is there
the future you envisioned
is still in his care

big swollen heart
nice try to tame the real world
takes only tea time
to see the daylight
your snared by good intentions
won’t tell you why he cancelled
his morning plans
you’re pulling at the answer
climb out of the sand
