Blood Orange

I want to
Give a sober love

Who
Who
Who
Who are you?

A strange constellation below
Pathways lit up like blood vessels
Black night speckled in billions of lights
Only one me living only one life

Flesh and skin bitter and sour like blood orange
I'm sunken into my drink like a shipwreck
Wasting my breath on emptiest prayers for a real friend
I'm no good on my own if there's never a home for my yearning

All in one second I'm afraid
One second I feel like a mistake
All in one second I'm afraid
One second I feel like a mistake

Who
Who
Who
Who are you?

A break in a hurricane's eye
Your voice calling back in the tide
One more sip and my face is numb
Singing sweet notes of assurance

Flesh and skin bitter and sour like blood orange
I'm sunken into my drink like a shipwreck
Wasting my breath on emptiest prayers for a real friend
I'm no good on my own if there's never a home for my yearning

All in one second I'm afraid
One second I feel like a mistake
All in one second I'm afraid
One second I feel like a mistake

I want to give a sober love
I want to break my patterns, love
I want to give a sober love
I want to break my patterns, love

All in one second I'm ablaze
One second I'm let out of my cage
All in one second I'm ablaze
One second I'm let out of my cage

Yeah, I'm let out of my cage
