Glass Antenna

Those needles and pins under my skin You sneak into my chest on tiptoes like liquid tin Everything's louder when I'm awake with you The air holds new secrets I never knew I fold my hands around the heat of morning The street is a low hymn I am listening Every whisper presses like a weight in my hand And I carry it like water in a cup I am a glass antenna, tuned to every take Pulling in all signals until my edges break There’s a load I carry, a soft and heavy ring I am fragile, I am wide, I hold everything Night spills slow across the roofs Static in the air, please stop the news Your shadow leaves a lullaby in my ear Too sharp, too near, I start to fear Candles melt like ice in the sun Need a target, I like to run I hold the world I like to grind And every sense shivers with the slightest wind I am a glass antenna, tuned to every take Pulling in all signals until my edges break There’s a load I carry, a soft and heavy ring I am fragile, I am wide, I hold everything Let the world slow down, let the lights go low If I close my eyes maybe the noise will slow Lay my hand on the silence, press the static away Just for a while let me be simple, I like to stay I am a glass antenna, trembling in the hush Taking in your heartbeat like a secret brush There’s a load I carry, a soft and heavy ring I am fragile, I am wide, I hold everything Track from the album "Black Swan"
