There's a house in the middle of the ocean
You can see it when the waves dive
Then they rise like furious mountains
Swallowing the girl inside it
You and I are connected by a wire
I feel what you feel
The hum is affection
Pulse is desire
Anger is rasping
Dissonance is fear
You and I are bound by a secret
And the weight of a lie
We gave up our families to keep it
And I carried our stonechild
Bring the wine to the passenger
Bring the passenger bread
In the morning
Draw her a bath
In the evening
Draw down the bed
Write my verse through her brittle fingers
Find my voice echoing her dreams
At the river
Watering the horses
Plunge my stonechild down into the stream
What false darkened force possesses me
Would true love dare try to possess me
What false darkened force possesses me
Would true love dare try to possess me
There's a house in the middle of the ocean
You can see it from this mountain's top
Emerging from the resting water
From the door to the sand
A mile of wooden dock
You and I are connected by a wire
I feel what you feel
But I've called calm waters
I've got the cutters
Your verse is humming what I never hear
You and I are the shape that the spray makes
From a surfacing whale
The tall redwood tearing down the cliff
The lovers kiss
And in universe
Exhale
Walk the mile with me
Passenger to our passage's end
How my love became heart coil of bone
A heart coil of bone to the ocean floor I'll send
Now in this house way out in dark water
Now in this house find the girl inside
Opening my legs to the deepest of oceans
Now here
I bury my stonechild
Now here
I bury my stonechild
Now here
I bury my stonechild
Now here
I bury my stonechild
What false darkened force possesses me
Would true love dare try to possess me
What false darkened force possesses me
Would true love dare try to possess me
What false darkened force possesses me
Would true love dare try to possess me
