What brings you to me are some memories in photographs
You?re up on the table spending nothing but the borrowed past
Breathe out the ballast come to the surface
When you?re swimming and alone
Drink from the chalice drown in the blood as it turns to stone
Your heart?s a magnet and in my dreams I?m dancing with you
And we kiss tonight it?s a child?s kiss
What you fell in love with
Did you see my father?s father?s eyes
Coming tearing out from all the other insides
How we believe in your lost seams
This family only meets in hospitals and funerals
Some kids that only talk about themselves when they?re told
They opened up your chest
And fingers slide within your warm dark flesh
For this you know that someone must confess
Your doctor?s young and he?s wringing from you every last breath
His oath tonight it seems like hypocrisy coming from his lips
He is breathing while you?re dreaming all alone
And on the phone there were sketches of a family tree that?s gone
On a scrap of paper torn and not remembered
The Texas sky?s so wide I?m feeling nothing permanent or named
Well, I woke up a verse for your cold imagined stone
While you?re dreaming on your own
When you?re dreaming she is sleeping on our own
