The Night Dilates

from A Wayward Mirror by Errant Boy

lyrics

The cloud like a dirty fingerprint on my night-time window
meant the moon's playing hide and seek.
The cloud like a dirty fingerprint, a condensation rainbow
meant the moon has reached its peak

Time weaves a taut gauze and your 2AM pausing
will be steam by three.
Time weaves a taut gauze and you've forgotten
all these human machines.

Sleep in the afternoon,
show me your desperate moves
and dull resistance.
You keep hiding in the woods.

The spirit hits the casual hips
with an importance that hard to miss
and the moon is at our feet.
The night dilates and takes our wrists,
the night-time kiss so cautious lipped
and the room is incomplete.

Time weaves a taut gauze and you've forgotten
all these human machines.

Sleep in the afternoon,
show me your desperate moves
and dull resistance.
You keep hiding in the woods.

The half-light's calling me,
the half-life's underneath.
To stop and watch you sleep's
an invitation to the deep.
