Lyrics

I reach for a connection
But it?s slipping out of my grasp
A bird?s bright-plumed feather makes me whole

I want you to see me as I?m edging out this open hatch
That leads to the bedroom door that?s closed

Down the threadbare red carpet
Where my feet have finally spoken
To the place of candlelight and whispered smiles

There?s a breach in the judges, a red-rover line I?ve broken
I think that we can slip by if I
Keep my focus whole

CH: I want to tell you my secrets
But I can?t find where I hid them
Away from what once threatened me
I want to expose all my bones
Washing the dirt away
Til the artifacts
Come home

I?m sluggish disconnected
Put to bed by mother comfort
It?s strange that by her I?ve been betrayed

She wants to keep me to herself
An ivory figure on the shelf
With all the fragile china locked away

This smiley face I wear to draw your attention
From my darkened corners
And isolated borders

These feelings opening rob me of sainthood
Delivering them to you
Feels divine
