lyrics

I swim above the plunge pool, current swirling round my feet
This is where my love grows, coldness numbing water sweet
On the banks dark ferns and flowers, lover's names carved in to trees
Is the hum I hear my telos or the buzz of honeybees?

You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my help
So think about that when you turn your knife on someone else
It's been a decade since I felt I was myself
So when you kiss me know that we are going to hell

I smell the dust that kicks up as we drive the gravel roads
The heat is thick around us as the valleys slowly close
I dreamt about finding a place out here for us
Now Tāmaki drowns me in pointless greed and lust

Andy, don't keep your distance
It's been a year and they hardly missed us
Richard, don't keep your distance
It's been two decades, they hardly knew us
