The Whale Song

I love the chunk in your chest The lump in your throat The stones in your coat I love the chunk in your chest The blade in your lungs Metal taste on your tongue I love the chunk in your chest The knot in your night That time won’t untie How did you kidnap yourself (that we did not know) How did you kidnap yourself (that we did not know) I love the chunk in your chest The lines in your head That cling to your bed I love the chunk in your chest The blemish of blue That hands can’t remove I love the chunk in your chest The brittle of night That time won’t revive How did you kidnap yourself (that we did not know) How did you kidnap yourself (that we did not know) I asked the whale to spit me out She said darling I never closed my mouth Look up look up and swim around You’ve fallen in love with the echo the sound Of the belly the beast the underground There’s nothing wrong You are all of yourself Above below So much to not know Come leave stop go I can’t look this in the eye I’ve tried I don’t wanna end this on a high It’s not right Sometimes your love feels like a long goodbye
