The Ladybug Transistor - Clutching Stems Lyrics

In all this teariness
I'm weak to your response
But I can't speak of things
You take the Hudson line
Up to Quaker Ridge
And I've just realized
No, I ain't dreamin' this
I'm reaching for your heart
Headlines and deadlines
Whisper low, ignore the light
Sometimes
We'll deny
Closing slowly, reach devine
Let me go, these walls I wish I could kick or knock
And now that I'm not
It's all coming apart

I don't think I'll resist
And I don't think I can quit
Red vines and dead nights
Whisper low, ignore the light
Sometimes, not all the time
Closing slowly, reach devine
Let me go
These walls I wish I could kick or knock
And now that I'm not
It's all coming apart

Come, dear, enjoy the light
Blue and dying 'til the end, and I'm left clutching stems
Uptown, marquee spells fright
But I can't see my friends, and I'm left clutching stems
You're found, when a poem shines bright
When all that's left is the flames, and I'm left clutching stem
