Live & Breathe

I sleep the afternoon
And wake in to a starry night of strange delight
There’s mufflebells and cries outside my window
A dislocated state, a weightlessness is lifting me toward the
Sea
I take a dram, dress, and I go out
Out and about
As I live and breathe, because I live and breathe
For this, all this
The streets have come alive
They’re damascened with all my fiends and fireflies
And damn your eyes, I love you one and all
I hear my siren call
I find her by the sunken church, a silver birch to sit beneath
Now that we are out
Out and about
As I live and breathe
Because I live and breathe for this
All this
She takes me ‘round the town
Her inky eyes, her thistledown allay my woes
And heaven’s hosts are laughing all the while
To see our curious style
Our reveries forevermore
It’s what I’ve never seen before
That I recognise
As I live and breathe, because I live and breathe
For this, all this
This is all that I need
This is all I live and breathe
