lyrics

Everyone is making love
To each other
Head on breast
Hand to lips
Spread out upon the lawn

And the flesh sinks
Like broken ships
In open water
It’s the only way we drown

But I’m floating fine
As I hope to find
All the reasons why
I would just prefer to hide

Anyone can make a drug
Of their lover
Hand me this
Leave your kiss
You know I’ll feast upon

I’d rather starve than swallow you
To discover
A hollow chest
That’s bottomed out

But I’m floating fine
As I hope to find
All the reasons why
I would just prefer to hide

Why I’m taking flight
Sail into the nighttime
I’ll avoid the fight
Hiding at heaven’s height

Behind a nebula of hearts
The distant nebula of love
Belongs to no one here on earth
Behind a nebula of hearts
The distant nebula of love
Exploding slowly over time

The glittered sky will still cascade
Long after
Its reasons why
Its answer, fades

So I’m far away arching in
The ether
There are stars under my eyelids
But still no means to cry

Still I’m floating fine
As I hope to find
All the reasons why
I would just prefer to hide
Why I’m taking flight
Sail into the nighttime
I’ll avoid the fight
Hiding at heaven’s height

Behind a nebula of hearts
The distant nebula of love
Belongs to no one here on earth
Behind a nebula of hearts
The distant nebula of love
Exploding slowly over time

Behind a nebula of hearts; the distant nebula of love
Behind a nebula of hearts; the distant nebula of love
