Buprenorphine

Shouldn't be much longer than tomorrow
Lead me to the depths and I will follow
Lead me to the tree and I will hang there
Lead me to the bed and I will stay there

I'll unwind you when I find you
I'll unwind you when I find you
I'll unwind you when I find you
I'll unwind you when I find you

I have found another way to leave here
Settle in the congregation grieving
Only kiss me to check if I’m breathing
Breathing never struck me as believing

Only kiss me to check if I’m breathing
Breathing never struck me as believing
I'll unwind you when I find you
I'll unwind you when I find you

Tree
Tree

You know me, but you don't know when
I don't think you know where I've been
Their screams sounded like violins
Their necks snapped just under their chins

I ache like I'll die and I will
You kill, and they kill, and it kills
Withdrawal and you'll fall down the hill
To the pills, and the pills, and the pills

The dirt on your skin only seals you in
To your hurt, to your thin
To your bleeding, your sin-coated
Body whose hobby is bringing an end
To itself and the beauty that's been
Growing gardens of crumbled ruins

Tree

I want you, but like an attack
I lack, and I lack, and I lack
I'll weigh on your faith til it cracks
I'll break more than backs, more than backs

I've injected its graces and snorted maudlin
I have had sex in places where you've never been
I'm protected by faces who break more than in
Who can give you a permanent grin
And I want you, and want you to sin

Only kiss me to check if I’m breathing
Breathing never struck me as believing

(I'll unwind you when I find you
I'll unwind you when I find you)
