Bad Books - Ambivalent Peaks lyrics

Can't find the forest too stuck on trees
But now you're invested
So I'm left pretending it's all I can see

I asked for a window to open my cell
You came as kaleidoscopes
Climbing, colliding you came as yourself
Whether I'm ready is not up to me
We go where we're ordered
To bunker or breach to the close of creation
As shells and stories

A spiral staircase astoria, Queens
I claimed you while conscious
Got sleepy, forgetful and lost you in dreams

You folded your leg right foot to left knee
You laughed at my back
Said you could not believe
How violent I could be
Just brushing my teeth

Drove from the service the truth in my teeth
My woman beside me a clutch of hydrangeas
A strange sort of peace

In loss, I'm made certain unveiled clarity
It's you I will marry my lover, my family
You always will be

But every word seemed too small to speak
So we watched the sky reach ambivalent peaks
We made our projections present and free
