Passage’s End

[Verse 1]
There's a house in the middle of the ocean
You can see it when the waves dive
Then they rise like furious mountains
Swallowing the girl inside it
You and I are connected by a wire
I feel what you feel
The hum is affection, pulse is desire
Anger is rasping, dissonance is fear

[Verse 2]
You and I are bound by a secret
And the weight of a lie
We gave up our families to keep it
And I carried our stonechild
Bring the wine to the passenger
Bring the passenger bread
In the morning, draw her a bath
In the evening, draw down the bed
Write my verse through her brittle fingers
Find my voice echoing her dreams
At the river, watering the horses
Plunge my stonechild down into the stream

[Chorus]
What false darkened force possesses me?
Would true love dare try to possess me?
What false darkened force possesses me?
Would true love dare try to possess me?

[Verse 3]
There's a house in the middle of the ocean
You can see it from this mountain's top
Emerging from the resting water
From the door to the sand, a mile of wooden dock
You and I are connected by a wire
I feel what you feel
But I've called calm waters, I've got the cutters
Your verse is humming what I never hear

[Verse 4]
You and I are the shape that "the spray makes"
From a surfacing whale
The tall redwood tearing down the cliff
The lovers kiss, and in uni-verse, exhale
Walk the mile with me
Passenger to our passage's end
How my love became heart coil of bone
A heart coil of bone to the ocean floor, I'll send
Now in this house, way out in dark water
Now in this house, find the girl inside
Opening my legs to the deepest of oceans

[Bridge]
Now here, I bury my stonechild
Now here, I bury my stonechild
Now here, I bury my stonechild
Now here, I bury my stonechild

[Chorus]
What false darkened force possesses me?
Would true love dare try to possess me?
What false darkened force possesses me?
Would true love dare try to possess me?
What false darkened force possesses me?
Would true love dare try to possess me?
