lyrics

Everything is frozen.
Every kiss that longly dwells
the words that slip unsent
on the throb of breath’s dull swells.

Whoever you are holding me.
Whoever you were and will be.
What is never sold, but given free.
Whoever you are holding me.

Everything is frozen.
The tender vaulted touches
that beach on your crystal edge
to make sing your wine glass hutches.

Whoever you are holding me.
Whoever you were and will be.
What is never sold, but given free.
Whoever you are holding me.

They say I’ll never get anywhere with that attitude
So I’ll just stay right here with you
like a syringe in your endless arms
beyond the tendrils of checklists, deadlines, and alarms

Everything is frozen.
The pages of the book break in turning.
The guesses sink into mud unknown.
The embraces loose to useless burning.

Whoever you are holding me.
Whoever you were and will be.
What is never sold, but given free.
Whoever you are holding me.
