can't find the forest
G Em7 C
too stuck on the trees
G Em7 C
but now you're invested,

so i'm left pretending
Em7 C
it's all i can see
G Em7 C
i asked for a window
G Em7 C
to open my cell
G Em7 C
you came as kaleidoscopes
G
climbing, colliding
Em7 C
you came as yourself
Am Em
whether i'm ready
D Am
is not up to me

we go where we're ordered
D
to bunker or beach
Am D
to the close of creation
G Em7 C
as shells and stories
G Em7 C

a spiral staircase

Astoria, Queens
G Em7 C
i claimed you while conscious

got sleepy, forgetful,
Em7 C
and left you in dreams

you folded your leg

right foot to left knee

you laughed at my back

said you couldn't believe

how violent I could be
just brushing my teeth

G Em7 C
drove from the service
G Em7 C
spent in my seat

my woman beside me

a clutch of hydrangeas

a strange sort of peace
G Em7 C
in loss, i'm made certain
G Em7 C
unveiled clarity
G Em7 C

G
my lover, my family
Em7 C
you always will be

seemed too small to speak

so we watched the sky reach
D Am
ambivalent peaks
D
we made our projections
present and free
