Ether

from Ether / Spare Me by Spinster

lyrics

You and I, we were different, fertile heartbeats
Eager and afraid, heavy eyes, wound up bodies
Prayers, guilt and whispers
Stay up late and kiss me slowly
Sing out loud and drive all night
Please, can this last forever

Work hard for golden America
Lose touch, do drugs, fight hard but don’t lose sight
Is it just me? Or do you remember the fireworks?
You said I was brave
But you were just a boy and afraid of us
Please, make this last forever

You body is not yours and I’m sorry
I’m sorry you’re unwinding and you’re melting into memory
Let me take care of your body,
Count your breaths, warm your hands
Kiss your eyes, and sing all night
Please, don’t squander forever

Say your directives are clear, say you’re at peace,
Say goodbye, that you know when to take your bow
But also, you say you are furious, its in your bones
And it’s way too late
Are you insane? And why won’t you let me take care of you?
Such a stubborn man
You know I’m sad, strong, brave and I’m here for you
Please, please, we don’t have forever

Just within reach, just outside of my grasp
Snow is falling heavy and worries running deep
See that imposing maple, live in its shadows
And sleep in its memories
Look back at a first kiss
Drive across the path of possibility
I am still that kid, I am still that kid

Tonight, you’ll dream a reality
Tonight, you’ll be the ether
