You held me in a mother's arms Down in the breadline She wore her millefleurs dress She watched me with sparrow eyes Because she knows how I Can be a punchline That everyone knows Something about an altar I am a crawler And I know inside I know inside You're there More than I am Even to myself So I could try to flee from your sight Or fold myself into a beam of light Or become any kind of thing I like But what I am is known to you And I can't get all the way away from you You know I can't Get all the way away from you You were hounding me From heaven When you caught me outside Down by the water Or at the end of time No creature is hidden And neither was I Because you know how I Can be a punchline That hits a little close to home You lead us to the altar All us belly crawlers And if I'm curving in And see nothing but my sins You're there Deeper than I have been Even within myself But we have tried to flee from your sight In a browser, in a boardroom, on our bed at night We've become all the kinds of things we've liked And the emptiness calls out to you Cos we can't Get all the way away from you You know we can't Get all the way away from you You see me and you know me That can be a terrifying thought But I'm as real as a rabbit In a fiery field And my best hope Is getting caught I was told To embrace the shadow I never felt more free But at the end of the day It covered everything So please Come recover me Cos what we are is known to you What we are is made for you What we are is known to you What we are is made for you And I heard you pouring your heart out to mine For what must have been the thousandth time When I was struck by the lightning from eternal light And now my body is a bell at the sight of you And I can't keep anything Away from you You know I can't keep anything Away from you I want to fly to your open side And be underwing under sparrow eyes And see you wingspread against a broken sky And be remembered back to you Cos I can't Keep anything Away from you You know I can't Keep anything Away from you
