Stay

Dead for another evening
We were sleepless on the ceiling
You found your way to my skin and burrowed in
I thought I'd never tasted love, I'm always so detached
But there's a movement missing from the inside of my chest
and all the beautiful words you would speak, still devour me

I was wrapped up in your veins and stayed suspended and tangled for days
Above the deepest divides, we fell with our hands still tied
And I thought this is what happens when two hurricanes collide
It becomes easier to let go even when it's everything to hold on tight

But I don't want to know, I don't want to know

We were more than just catastrophes
Twisting fate lines so you and I could be
But I always feel so far away
You were where the Atlantic and Pacific agreed to meet
Overtaking the ground and flooding into me
You always swept me away and all I want is to stay

You traced paths between the stars
Your fingertips created scars
But I didn't need the sky when I had the nova in your eyes
So this is what happens when I cave in too soon
The labyrinth I'm condemned to keeps me light years from you

But I don't want to know, I don't want to know

We were more than just catastrophes
Twisting fate lines so you and I could be
But I always feel so far away
You were where the Atlantic and Pacific agreed to meet
Overtaking the ground and flooding into me
You always swept me away and all I want is to stay

I loved that habitat we made
The place where we always dreamed awake
With you, I was home but there's all this chaos in my blood
And I just had to let it go

But I wanted to stay

So just cut your losses and hate me for it
But I don't wanna know
