Peppermint

We're going to be waiting for a long time, but it'll be worth it when we find what we find. And we wont be frightened, and we won't be nervous, it'll be perfect and right. We'll find god in our lovers' arms. We're going to be healing for a long time, but we won't be sleepless and we'll get better each night. Because we're not afraid of dying, we're afraid of wanting never to die. You set your heart out in the graveyard. Go and get your heart back from the great beyond. And your milk tastes like breaking. And your wrists smell of peppermint. And you carry your sadness on your back like a tortoise, as protection. And you sleep with a blanket that you found on the pavement, and you cling to it. And you want to be righteous and you want to find guidance, but nothing's come yet. But I read your stars in a mason jar and you'll make love in the back yard, and we'll find god in our lovers' arms. We'll redefine god as something that we want. Redefine god as something that you want.
