lyrics

i'd rather not be the perfect guy
i'd rather not leave my bed
but the heart is a monster
and it must be fed

i'd rather not have to huff the tomb
i'd rather not touch the ground
but the heart is the searcher
that is never found

i'd rather not taste the photograph
i'd rather not get wet feet
but the heart is a river
and who knows how deep

i'd rather not have to do or die
i'd rather not have to char
but the heart is an archer
never misses it's mark

i'd rather not have to fall apart
i'd rather not be destroyed
but the heart is an asshole
and it's paranoid

a season invented
a season inside
a delicate gender
a delicate crime

but i gotta get back to my secret body
i gotta fill every limb with light
there is a vapor of green hovers over the river
as the river flows down my spine

i got an ocean of wanting
behind my eyes
a delicate plunder
a delicate prize
