You were young and you'd stare

With a reverence unimpaired

There was an echo far and faint

Beneath the air remained

You were young and you'd stare

Where my limbs hung far and fair

Make a ladder of what folds

And climb up in me

There was no light and I swear

I could see your raring fear

I heard the plains moaning back

I saw the thunder roll o'er black

The was no light and I swear

We sat still in our fear

Make a ladder of what folds

And climb up in me

Carve out the spaces

Imparted graces and I

I couldn't shake it

I built a constellation lair

Out of the moles that hovered there

A fever billowed with the wind

And I bade the sky therein

I built a constellation lair

Out of the moles that hovered there

Make a pardon of what knows

And climb up in me

You push and you pull and you tell yourself no

It's like when you lie down the veins grow in slow

You push and you pull

But you'd never know

I crept up in you and I

Wouldn't let go
