lyrics

Now to Pyrrhic Victories led,
On devilled eggs and black black bread.
Through Dresden Dolls and drizzle, dear,
My open wound against your ear.

All your currents course within,
But your surface is unbroken skin.
As I stand beside you now,
I see you are an ocean.

You bend me double now amidst cries,
A great inked ball between your thighs,
'Twixt your forefinger and thumb,
You're poised to write what shit might come.

I'll take your money and I'll dance,
I'll shake my thing and fill your glass,
As I stand before you now,
I see you are an ocean.

At my best, I rest my hand upon the water,
At my best, I rest my hand upon the water,
At my best, I rest my head upon your breast,
At my best, I rest my hand, I rest my hand, I rest my hand.
