lyrics

Black and white and calico strings
Are twisted in my hand
Like all of the things you mentioned
Not so long ago

Last night I dreamt you kissed my forehead
I do wish that I could know what you dreamt of too

Was it me
Was it just a bite you took and could not swallow
Was it me
Was it just one of your gestures I failed to follow
Honestly, silly me

Exchange my presence for a lovely origami rose
If the rule is to burn what you no longer need
I know who will survive

Was it me
Was it just a bite you took and could not swallow
Was it me
Was it just one of your gestures I failed to follow
Honestly, silly me

Honey drips for years and never breaks out of its geometric prison
Well honey I have combed through
Many a day, many a thought, many a cigarette
Honey drips for years and never breaks out of its geometric prison
Honey you've surrounded me
A wick without your harmony
The answer's at the bottom

Was it me
Was it just a bite you took and could not swallow
Was it me
Was it just one of your gestures I failed to follow
Honestly, silly me
