lyrics

Cover me in bleached stone & dead sand
Leave my bones for the wolves in the desert
Bury me with your beautiful hands
The tears you cry will dry up in an instant

I need you like the river needs the ocean
More & more with every waking moment
I need you like the river needs the sea
To pour into your arms until I fall asleep

There are no more dreams for the sandman I've become
The years disappeared below my feet
I might be older but I'm still just as dumb
For the magic lamp of life's indignity

I need you like the river needs the ocean
More & more with every aching moment
I need you like the river needs the sea
To pour into your arms until I fall asleep

My sentence is a lifetime spent without you
Exiled to a distant moon of Mars
No matter what you say I'll always doubt you
I'm learning how to unhate my heart

I need you like the river needs the ocean
Even though I've failed you at every crucial moment
I'll give myself to you like the river feeds the sea
I'll pour into your arms until I fall asleep
