Thistly Corner of the Forest

Your hands run down with the skipping in my chest
We chase that feeling away
Giving me a reason to breathe
Something to make me show my teeth
Now that the light has left my eyes
My bones won't move
Spending time like the water in the sky
Locked to an open door
Lets walk until we find our shore
and settle into the bottom of the sea
Why should I stand straight up
When I can disappear behind these curtains
Somewhere I can keep to myself
Somewhere I can keep this to myself
