Arnica
I want to be close to you and close to home
I want to beckon you near me bend you towards me from your throat
Arnica
When you said my name did you like its taste
Was it sweet enough that tomorrow you can spit it out again
Clementine sky and a grapefruit sun
We take a hit of the smoke and endure the citrus reflux
I'll devour you until there's not enough
You look like the threat of spring
You look like an uprising
Lately I've been reconsidering
If the history we've always shared is better off erased
You look like the boreal greens
You look like a fever dream
Lately I've been reconsidering
If I should follow you when worst comes to worst
Since you've only seen my best
Arnica
I want to save your body and save our home
So many scorching days I've watched you wilt in my shaky hold
Arnica
Would you please forgive me for I have sinned
I swore on my mother's blood I'd cleanse us until our conscience ran crystalline
You look like the threat of spring
The second bloom of the crises
Lately I've been reconsidering
If the ignorance of who I've been would really be a bliss
You look like the boreal greens
And your tall pride falls silently
Lately I've been reconsidering
If I should follow you when worst comes to worst
Since Arnica you've only seen my best
Weighed the same for the past seven years
But my skin's taut over the places of where
I had to grow though I tried to stay the same
I had to grow though I tried to stay the same
I can now wear
My heart on my sleeve
It's a gift and a curse
Healing after a soulmate leaves
I used to peak at equinox was dark and was light
But I'm tired of climbing so I'll hang low like the solstice
Arnica since you've only seen my best
Is it okay if I rest
