Asleep on Softened Fists Lyrics

How long have we been married
And how long have we been lost
Giving all that we have
To relieve this fear

These stars that died in my pocket
Should fill the holes that we put in your
Head
And keep in the light that we thought
Would have melted
All of our
Broken
Toys

It's safe for you to sing with me
In this place where we
Slept on softened fists
Where you swallowed my
Eyes and smeared me across your
Face and other things

I don't know what's worse
Falling apart or
Holding still
When I know that my
Life is something
I'll never learn
To
Live
With

Being next to you
Gives me an interest
In being alive
And near
Your breathing feeds me
And keeps me awake
In here
