Mother Earth, cradle me In your arms of pine trees I don't want to feel the world turn Cover me in warm air I know it's summer somewhere Lay me with the fern No more bedtime stories Heartbreak allegories I just wanna hear from Achilles Hold me still Hold me tight Stop me shaking Through the night I don't wanna pass my pain Calm the water Calm the light Heal the aching End the fight I just want a life in beige Blurry visions of our flesh How much of me is there left? I don't need to live a long life Clearing algae from the pond Making pathways for swans Like I even know what's right No more half-love stories No more romance for me I just wanna hear from You Achilles Hold me still Hold me tight Stop me shaking Through the night I don't wanna pass my pain Calm the water Calm the light Heal the aching End the fight I just want a life in beige
