Paper Bird - Vessel lyrics
[Paper Bird - Vessel lyrics]
If I find out that you're lying
And we're already one in love and denial
How should I know how to go on?
And if my pile dwelling is shaking
And I throw the books out into the boat
Before I bring ourselves into safety
My system is rotten right down to it's roots
So find me a vessel of porcelain and paper
And find me a river with rapids and pools
Find me a town I can mark on my map
That's worth drifting to
I don't know what she died of
I'm not sure I should even ask
In the end it's the unsolved mysteries
That form the motors of our hearts
And her name is written on a tissue
Stained with time and grease
I folded it twice and put it in the box
I buried under the cherry tree
She still dies every night while I sleep
She still dies every night while I sleep
Don't you try to come along and fix me
I got two demons I want to keep
So find me a friend who
Doesn't need to touch me
But touches me just the right way every time
We spend nights on the windowsill
Watching the trains go by
The house, the house is still haunted
We can hear the floorboards
Creak under our beds
And sister, that's the problem with ghosts
How can you be sure they're really dead?
So find me a vessel of porcelain and paper
Find me a river with rapids and pools
So find me a town I can mark on my map
That's worth drifting to
So find me a vessel of porcelain and paper
Find me a river with rapids and pools
So find me a town I can mark on my map
That's worth drifting to
That's worth drifting to
That's worth drifting to
That's worth drifting to
That's worth drifting to
And we're already one in love and denial
How should I know how to go on?
And if my pile dwelling is shaking
And I throw the books out into the boat
Before I bring ourselves into safety
My system is rotten right down to it's roots
So find me a vessel of porcelain and paper
And find me a river with rapids and pools
Find me a town I can mark on my map
That's worth drifting to
I don't know what she died of
I'm not sure I should even ask
In the end it's the unsolved mysteries
That form the motors of our hearts
And her name is written on a tissue
Stained with time and grease
I folded it twice and put it in the box
I buried under the cherry tree
She still dies every night while I sleep
She still dies every night while I sleep
Don't you try to come along and fix me
I got two demons I want to keep
So find me a friend who
Doesn't need to touch me
But touches me just the right way every time
We spend nights on the windowsill
Watching the trains go by
The house, the house is still haunted
We can hear the floorboards
Creak under our beds
And sister, that's the problem with ghosts
How can you be sure they're really dead?
So find me a vessel of porcelain and paper
Find me a river with rapids and pools
So find me a town I can mark on my map
That's worth drifting to
So find me a vessel of porcelain and paper
Find me a river with rapids and pools
So find me a town I can mark on my map
That's worth drifting to
That's worth drifting to
That's worth drifting to
That's worth drifting to
That's worth drifting to
