push pull

You were young and you'd stare With a reverence unimpaired There was an echo, far and faint Beneath the air remained You were young and you'd stare Where my limbs hung far and fair Make a ladder of what folds And climb up in the air You push and you pull and you tell yourself no It's like when you lie down, the veins grow in slow You push and you pull but you'd never know I crept up in you and I wouldn't let go There was no light and I swear I could see your raring fear I heard the plains moaning back I saw the thunder roll o'er black There was no light and I swear We sat still in our fear Make a ladder of what folds And climb up in the air You push and you pull and you tell yourself no It's like when you lie down, the veins grow in slow You push and you pull but you'd never know I crept up in you and I wouldn't let go (And I) carve out the spaces (And I) imparted graces (And I) I couldn't shake it (And I) I built a constellation lair Out of the moles that hovered there A fever billowed with the wind And I bade the sky therein I built a constellation lair Out of the moles that hovered there Make a pardon of what knows And climb up in me You push and you pull and you tell yourself no It's like when you lie down, the veins grow in slow You push and you pull but you'd never know I crept up in you and I wouldn't let go You push and you pull and you tell yourself no It's like when you lie down, the veins grow in slow You push and you pull but you'd never know I crept up in you and I wouldn't let go
