Smoke Tree

You're still pulling me away
A tree that's made of smoke
All I did is pray
Slip God into the throat
Get a sitter for the kids
Be demons in the dark
Spill blood into the water
Spill blood into my heart
Darling, make a wish only I will know
Every smile
Every kiss
Back closer to the door

Don't drown out there alone
Swimming endlessly
Frozen to the bone
The fire's here with me

Jackets in the rain
Whisper another life
Love can be a scream you drive into the night
Do I starve outside your wealth?
Stand hungry just to feed?
Break me from the church
Steal me while I'm breathing
Still tugging at the straps
Still slipping off your jeans
Stacking up the scalps
Lie down in the weeds

Don't drown out there alone
Swimming endlessly
Frozen to the bone
The fire's here with me

Stumble into morning
Beat me while I'm weak
The garden's damn near glowing
The smoke comes from the tree
