not a lot, just forever

Through your eyes I see

A smile you bring to me

To your joy, I tether

Not a lot, just forever

Intertwined, sewn together

Like the rock bears the weather

Not a lot, just forever

My dog barks wildly

To protect my infancy

From my ex-believer

And I try to calm the wolf

To remind her I am both

Still she tears at my sweater

Not a lot, just forever

Intertwined, sewn together

As the wren sheds her feather

Not a lot, just forever

And your dearest fantasy

Is to grow a baby in me

I could be a good mother

And I wanna be your wife

So I hold you to my knife

And I steal your letter

Not a lot, just forever

Intertwine some together

As the rock bears the weather

Not a lot, just forever

So I bash around the house

And the poison stains my mouth

She comes, I let her

And we share a paradise

And I roll them once or twice

Can't get much better

Not a lot, just forever

Intertwined, sewn together

As the rock bears the weather

Not a lot, just forever

Not a lot, just forever

Intertwined, sewn together

As the wren bares her feathers

Not a lot, just forever
