lyrics

Cast against the clay, into that sole and solemn place,
I'll hold you still, fragrant from the kill.
Say, are we distant islands now?
I still feel that heat somehow.
I could hold you closer.
Am I the tolling bell that hounds you?
My kingdom now surrounds you - this time I've found you.
I barrel back and buckle up when I'm alone with you.

Swept adrift for days - could I eat all you allow?
Open up your gates, I shall heave my chariots down.
Because it's heavy on your breath, love, that fever in your frame.
There's this pleasure in your flesh, love, calling out my name.
Am I the tolling bell that hounds you?
Such sweet ecstasy surrounds you.
I barrel back and buckle up when I'm alone with you.

Here poised above the skyline, here from my high trapeze,
It's the only thing I see.
As you lay on your side, bruises on your thighs - I barrel back and buckle up.
The light pirouhettes in the nape of your neck - I barrel back and buckle up.
When the mist lifts in the morning and you call for me,
Will I barrel back? Will I buckle up?
Would you swallow my shame? Though it was not earned.
In love's company, does it all return?
