A Spindle, A Darkness, A Fever, And A Necklace - Companion Version
You turn on a spindle
You are so much looser now
But you're not explaining how
You gained such new repose
I touch the clast of your locket
With its picture held
Some secret you wouldn't tell
But let it choke your neck
So we imagine a darkness
Where all shapes divide
Solids changing into light
With a burst of heat so bright
Well, fine, don't you do what I want you to
Yeah, don't degrade yourself the way that I do
'Cause you don't depend upon all the shit
That I use to make my moods improve
Near a sea of pianos
There we're waves of chords
That crashed against the shore
In one huge and uselss roar
There were girls bringing water
Like a dream they came
To feel the fever of my brain
And soothe my burning throat
They made me a necklace
Hanging beads of sweat
On a string of my regrets
And placed it around my neck
And they were singing
"Don't you do what you wanted to
Yeah, don't destroy yourself like those cowards do
Maybe tge sun keeps coming up
'Cause it's gotten used to you
And your constant need for proof
You are so much looser now
But you're not explaining how
You gained such new repose
I touch the clast of your locket
With its picture held
Some secret you wouldn't tell
But let it choke your neck
So we imagine a darkness
Where all shapes divide
Solids changing into light
With a burst of heat so bright
Well, fine, don't you do what I want you to
Yeah, don't degrade yourself the way that I do
'Cause you don't depend upon all the shit
That I use to make my moods improve
Near a sea of pianos
There we're waves of chords
That crashed against the shore
In one huge and uselss roar
There were girls bringing water
Like a dream they came
To feel the fever of my brain
And soothe my burning throat
They made me a necklace
Hanging beads of sweat
On a string of my regrets
And placed it around my neck
And they were singing
"Don't you do what you wanted to
Yeah, don't destroy yourself like those cowards do
Maybe tge sun keeps coming up
'Cause it's gotten used to you
And your constant need for proof
