Passage's End

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
