[Chapter X]

I hope you enjoy the ambiance
You can leave your wings at the door
There's no need to fly while you're here, and if you dare
and try I'll nail your feet to the floor
because this tea was brewed for two:
one for me, and one for you
It's been too long and now I'm through waiting for you

This is my time to write pretty words
This is my day
The plague of one is cured
Bet you a kiss that you're growing fur
Wish it away
One day we all wish it away
The way we were, wish it away

The only cure
If love turns cold, I'll call it ice cream and fake a happy tune
You've got your rounds now,
but dear your children are planting maple seeds
I'm sticky sweetened
I'm gooey hopeful
You're dripping ten miles gone
I watched our love freeze; it's only ice cream
A pocket's change could get you more
I'm left hungry
Could one death kill my faith?

Locust has rolled over, watch it fly
I watch my locust eclipse the sky
With melting wing watch that locust fry,
and smiling I'll watch that locust die

Waiting for you

I can't figure out what it is, but she's slipping from my grip
I can't figure out what it is, but she's squirming like an infant
She can't figure out what it is, she said
"You don't make me feel important"?
I can't figure out what it is, I ask "what's it like to feel important?"?
I can't figure out what it is
