Like a rabbit in a satin hat
I always bring everything back up
Though I think they're gone forever
I will never have enough
And though I try and push my words
Into every bottomless pit
I always get a splitting alphabet, I can't get rid of it
As they sink backwards, up to the surface
I watch them emerge like your lace clothes
The ones you bring out on special occasions
The ones that nobody knows
You always tried to hide your beauty
But I know the way you are
You never feel as alone in the dark
If you wanted to let me
I could spend everyday
Sitting right beside you
And watching every way
Because I love the way you never
Have taken an anticipated breath
And you've never cared for what they've said
And all the spots that sleep on your arms
You wouldn't know where they've come from
Like the only vacant hotel
Or the secrets of Babylon
So I will never try to decode
Your hieroglyphic speak
Because you don't know another way to be
