Fosfene - Hide and Seek Lyrics

Dark wood
Brass knobs
I've opened you before
Yellow ochre
Tunnel vision
What's inside that drawer

There was a map in the paper on the wall
I forgot how to read as a grew taller
But the taller I grow
The more I know
About what's outside the window

If I replace those I love
With stones in the mud
I'd still have to leave them someday
Find peace in the transient
Make love to strangers
Who jump from ships in your eyes

Or should I leap in the river and assume
That the omnipotent tide and the moon
Will carry me home
'Stead of sifting in sands
That saw the grinding of a stone

Hide me
In the ivy
Where the heat that made it sing
Could easily
Remind me of
The place from which it springs
