Old lane, old place

Creak your bones and rest away

Rows of teeth, rows of me

Little braids on a little freak

.

Rills and lights you're all I need

Unholy sight you're all I need

Salty sleep you're all I need

Underneath you're all I need

.

Never mind, never mind

What we said they're only words

Seeds of breath on the wind

Never fixing never settling in

.

Rills and lights you're all I need

Unholy sight you're all I need

Salty sleep you're all I need

Underneath you're all I need

.

You're all I need

You're all I need
