lyrics

I find when I’m sleeping
I feel a faceless touch
You know, I wish that you knew me
I wish you didn’t know so much

I crave for a blooming
That lingers and stays
I crave for my craving
To just go away

I wish for a bloodletting
I wish for a violent kind of hope
I wish for the seed in me that I’ve been smothering for so long
The time to grow
The time to grow

The only thing that I have
Left in this world is you
I wish I could say there’s more
I wish it wasn’t true

But here I am still rocking
A memory to sleep
I can almost hear it crying
Though it never wails for me

I wish I was a wide, wide space
That people longed to run to
I wish that the things I know would let me go
Maybe then I could go too
I could go too

You are all looking towards something
I wonder what it is you see
I am looking right at you
Will you ever see me?

At night I walk down your hallways
And I straighten the frames
Of the portraits on the walls
Who do not know my name

All I ask is for a room to stay
But I wish for a dream where I am known
To the hand that stretches out to caress
These old broken-down bones
Broken down
