lyrics

24, and you're a match in my hand
and I am kerosene with an olive branch and a crayon
I'm an atom with a mass unsurpassed
and you're the splitter who has found me at last

As you're the spaceship at the edge of your ellipse
I'm the gravity pulling you back onto my lips

Spring summer trout and the break of ease
Fall winter drought after autumn freeze
The climbing broke back all my fingernails

My heart's been written on like an acetate
That tells the story of a boy who can't translate
How there was nothing to stop the pendulum
After 2 years out of equilibrium

I'm the revolver, cocked, and ready to pull
And you're the round exploding inside my frail skull
