You will not be the
You will not be the
You will not be the
You will not be the
You will not be there walking beside me in the night

You will not be there walking beside me in the night oh honey now
You will not breathe the air walking beside me in the night
You will not be there walking beside me in the night oh honey now
You will not breathe the air walking beside me in the night

I've carried you in the rain and under trees
Through homes and streams and Holocenes
I don't know how to be without you
Down on all fours howling at me
I've watched the spiders lightly
Building bridges so unsightly
And oh your eyes once brightly
Renting rooms to ghosts
We've run we've run through dreams and stories
Beat my breast against your snoring
That swollen monster taking deep within your chest
And how to love a thing that gives me you
But also death

You won't be there walking beside me in the night oh honey now
You won't breathe the air walking beside me in the night
You won't be there walking beside me in the night oh honey now
You won't breathe the air walking beside me in the night

I set it up I set it
By shoring so surely I missed it so obvious
The obvious way that my body
Would follow my heart into mountains
And forests of death
I did it
I did all the things so that I could keep keeping you
But keeping seems losing
When there's less of you to hold on to
I'd give my hands my eyes
And tunnel out all my insides
I'm making knots to hold but
They keep coming out untied
And call to devils gods
If there are any I could find
When you see lights
I'll find you on the other side

You won't be there walking beside me in the night oh honey now
You won't breathe the air walking beside me in the night
You won't be there walking beside me in the night oh honey now
You won't breathe the air walking beside me in the night
You won't be there walking beside me in the night oh honey now
You won't breathe the air walking beside me in the night
You won't be there walking beside me in the night oh honey now
You won't breathe the air walking beside me in the night

You are so subtle
Becoming masts and sails
My anchor
Dragging the heart of me
All my eternity
Your body's leaving
Hammer steam
Your heavy breathing
A machine for beating

You won't be there walking beside me in the night
You won't breathe the air walking beside me in the night
You won't be there walking beside me in the night
You won't breathe the air walking beside me in the night
You won't be there walking beside me in the night
You won't breathe the air walking beside me in the night
You won't be there walking beside me in the night
You won't breathe the air walking beside me in the night
