I’m falling down the walls again
And I can’t tell my only friend
From the water, white flames
We swam, we swam
Ocean noises in my sleep
The words you speak distorted swear the secrets you won’t keep
Automatons with toys and guns and elephant megaphones
Playing the eraser on your breath
And in your home
And I can’t feel my bones
Can’t see the worlds with the creeping souls
Wandering the streets with cardboard signs
Yelling answers at the questions of the passerby
Those fickle fading figures hanging on your mind
I’m falling down the walls again
And I can’t tell my only friend
From the water, white flames
We swam
We swam
