I take you out to buy you shoes
you take me home and help me choose
between the kitchen table and the bed.
you open up my stubborn mouth
you feed me like a summer trout
rising up to breathe between your legs.
hold yourself up high
hold yourself up high.
your body as a marker
a beacon in the dark.
stay where I can reach
stay where I can reach.
your body as a marker
of what I am so far.
you wake up wrapped around my waist
I wake up to the heavy taste of you
hanging heavy in the air.
if I could find a word so sweet
that would cut you up and make you start to bleed
bleed heavy in my hair.
hold yourself up high
hold yourself up high.
your body as a marker
a beacon in the dark.
stay where I can reach
stay where I can reach.
your body as a marker
of what I am so far.
she's cinnamon in my brain
cinnamon in my brain.
she's cinnamon in my brain
cinnamon in my vein.
catch me once before I die
with someone else make you cry
the way you're always scared I'm gonna do.
and all your fear won't have been in vain
and all these years of going insane
a sweet vindication for you.
hold yourself up high
hold yourself up high
hold yourself up high.
your body as a marker
a beacon in the dark.
stay where I can reach
stay where I can reach.
your body as a marker
of what I am so far.
