lyrics

You were the lover of my youth
We were never eye to eye, but tooth to tooth
I see you today, after a long time gone
I look at your legs, I look at your arms
I feel very calm, I feel no alarm.

And then I see your hair, and my armor fails
the retaining walls topple to the sea
and I am a baby wailing in the dark, reaching out its arms
to the fire it sees,
each curl holds a flame, each flame holds a heat,
outside them is a coldness, and i am in that coldness.

I see a painting of a woman
in the background is a battle, in her arms there lays a baby
in her wrist she holds the wrist of a dead redcoat soldier

I look at the soldiers legs, I look at his arms
I feel very calm, I feel no alarm.
And then I see his hair, and my armor fails
the retaining walls topple to the sea

And then, like the jaw of a snake my heart unhinges
like a snake my heart unhinges its jaw
as a snake unhinges its jaw my heart unhinges its jaw
and it swallows the world
and it swallows the world
and it swallows the world
and it swallows the world.
