lyrics

You are the apple and I am the taste
Of orange juice veins and you are the paste.

You are the sun, rays warming the earth
And I am the moon cast shadows on dirt.

Oh, robber, who gave you the right?
You broke my ribs and you stayed for the night.
Oh, robber, who gave you the right?
You broke my ribs and you stayed for the night.

Yet I still yearn for patterns imagined.
Freckled dots connected in some lazy fashion.

And she’ll draw those long lines late in the evening
That I’ll only see as I stare at the ceiling.

Oh, robber, who gave you the right?
You broke my ribs and you stayed for the night.
Oh, robber, who gave you the right?
You broke my ribs and you stayed for the night.

These ribs are an empty cage
And these arms are an open page

Oh, robber, who gave you the right?
You broke my ribs and you stayed for the night.
Oh, robber, who gave you the right?
You broke my ribs and you stayed for the night.
