| My head is [full of fire][], my tongue swollen,
| pregnant with all the things I should've said
| but didn't. Last night, we met each other
| in the dark, remember? You told me time was
| pregnant with all things. I should've said
| something, to draw you out from your place
| in the dark. Remember, you told me time was
| only an illusion, [and memory was][] only
| something to draw. You, out from your place,
| I out from mine, that night, I believed in you.
| Only illusion and memory were one, lying
| [down on your couch][], through the night you drew
| me out from mine. That night, I believed in you
| when you told me you loved me. I lay
| down on your couch. Through the night, you drew
| a picture of our [future together][].
| When you told me you loved me, I lied
| [in the dark][]. Remember, you told me time was
| [a picture of our future][] together.
| My head is full of fire, [my tongue swollen][].
