Thin
He came when she was only
Eight years old and unafraid
She was the first to see him
See the (w)hole but not the grave
Words passed through bedroom windows
Moonlit sliver, he watched her sleep
Some things, they can't be buried
So just one promise he had her keep
Wait it out
A prick of the pin
Trace the route
Just under the skin
Lay it flat
Where to begin?
Just to find that
The world is so thin
The world is so thin
A lifetime spent chasing shadows
A dozen more spent all alone
Here then, the darkest secret:
Find a body to call your own
Wait it out
A prick of the pin
Trace the route
Just under the skin
Lay it flat
Where to begin?
Just to find that
The world is so thin
He stayed while she grew stronger
While every stroke took her far from shore
Each wave brought a single tiding:
Forget the promise, unlock the door
He held to fight the hunger
She held her ears until the screaming passed
Each end bears the single kindness
That one can offer
He took her last
Eight years old and unafraid
She was the first to see him
See the (w)hole but not the grave
Words passed through bedroom windows
Moonlit sliver, he watched her sleep
Some things, they can't be buried
So just one promise he had her keep
Wait it out
A prick of the pin
Trace the route
Just under the skin
Lay it flat
Where to begin?
Just to find that
The world is so thin
The world is so thin
A lifetime spent chasing shadows
A dozen more spent all alone
Here then, the darkest secret:
Find a body to call your own
Wait it out
A prick of the pin
Trace the route
Just under the skin
Lay it flat
Where to begin?
Just to find that
The world is so thin
He stayed while she grew stronger
While every stroke took her far from shore
Each wave brought a single tiding:
Forget the promise, unlock the door
He held to fight the hunger
She held her ears until the screaming passed
Each end bears the single kindness
That one can offer
He took her last
