Hope is an Animal
My love is reading my poetry, I'm trying not to read his face
It isn't fair for me to ask him what he thinks of it
It's just my heart upon the page
And it's been so long since I got a single word out of myself
Like I've been keeping secrets from my hands
My love is on the bathroom floor, he's been drinking without me
I was too busy being haunted by the ghosts of my life before him
And his fever needs breaking, and I need holding in
My love pushes the bedsheets from him down onto the ground
I could not bear to leave the window open, I was scared of falling out
And his fever needs starving, and I need holding in
But I don't need your sympathy but I'm begging for it anyway
Rage is not the opposite of love
And I am trying to be kinder than what I've overcome
My love is speaking in tongues, but I know just what he means
I am whispering my love to him and my kisses are sealing it in
My fever is raging, it's the rage I'm holding in
And I don't need these stones but I'm carrying them anyway
Hope is an animal that I have to keep warm
And I was built from stronger stuff than the sand I'm standing on
I don't need your sympathy but I'm begging for it anyway
Rage is not, it's not the opposite of love
And I am trying to be kinder than what I've overcome
I don't need these stones
Hope is an animal
And I was built from stronger stuff
So I am trying to be kinder
It isn't fair for me to ask him what he thinks of it
It's just my heart upon the page
And it's been so long since I got a single word out of myself
Like I've been keeping secrets from my hands
My love is on the bathroom floor, he's been drinking without me
I was too busy being haunted by the ghosts of my life before him
And his fever needs breaking, and I need holding in
My love pushes the bedsheets from him down onto the ground
I could not bear to leave the window open, I was scared of falling out
And his fever needs starving, and I need holding in
But I don't need your sympathy but I'm begging for it anyway
Rage is not the opposite of love
And I am trying to be kinder than what I've overcome
My love is speaking in tongues, but I know just what he means
I am whispering my love to him and my kisses are sealing it in
My fever is raging, it's the rage I'm holding in
And I don't need these stones but I'm carrying them anyway
Hope is an animal that I have to keep warm
And I was built from stronger stuff than the sand I'm standing on
I don't need your sympathy but I'm begging for it anyway
Rage is not, it's not the opposite of love
And I am trying to be kinder than what I've overcome
I don't need these stones
Hope is an animal
And I was built from stronger stuff
So I am trying to be kinder
