One By One

Won't you come down with me
Asleep inside a photograph
Floating like an embryo
Transmission fluid floods my dreams

Give me something
Your whole perfect world
Your saliva, warm and sweet is
My alcohol


Dandelions pressed between
Pages of a dictionary
Folded hands are frail and weak
Pennies rest upon your eyes

Give me one thing
Your whole perfect soul
Your body... my temple
Immaculate

One by one you all reach out to heal me

One by one, my tears evaporate

One by one you all reach out to heal me

One by one, my tears evaporate
