Cassiopeia

Messages on clementine rinds
For once in my life I don't know how to feel
You taste like pennies
And that's alright with me

The both of us are breathing
In each other's ears
Our secrets speak different languages
Still your whisper's clear

With you I feel grapefruit juice
Running in my blood
I'm just a little confused
What to think of us

Am I dreaming
Is it even you
Cassiopeia
Kiss me blue

Like the dragons in the parking lot
Ever heaving, flames and then exhaust
Constellate our fears with cinnamon sticks
Let's connect the stars

Help me hold the heavy parts of a heart
Feel me from afar
Many moons of waiting on a steady sun
Now I freeze in fear

Merge our fingernail horizons
Swear you'll catch my tears
Maybe sometime you can teach me
How to hold on to your hand

Maybe next time when I'm bleeding
I can call across the sand
And when the ocean takes the lipstick from my face
Might you be there

And as I'm walking empty steps in place
Will you hear my prayer
Am I dreaming
Is it even true
Cassiopeia

Show me what I'm meant to do
Like the angels in the submarine
We hold water with our weighted wings
