Passage's End - Jesca Hoop

There’s a house in the middle of the ocean

You can see it when the waves dive

Then they rise like furious mountains

Swallowing the girl inside it

You and I are connected by a wire

I feel what you feel

The hum is affection, pulse is desire

Anger is rasping, dissonance is fear

You and I are bound by a secret

And the weight of a lie

We gave up our families to keep it

And I carried our stonechild

Bring the wine to the passenger

Bring the passenger bread

In the morning, draw her a bath

In the evening, draw down the bed

Write my verse through her brittle fingers

Find my voice echoing her dreams

At the river, watering the horses

Plunge my stonechild down into the stream

What false darkened force possesses me?

Would true love dare try to possess me?

What false darkened force possesses me?

Would true love dare try to possess me?

There’s a house in the middle of the ocean

You can see it from this mountain’s top

Emerging from the resting water

From the door to the sand, a mile of wooden dock

You and I are connected by a wire

I feel what you feel

But I’ve called calm waters, I’ve got the cutters

Your verse is humming what I never hear

You and I are the shape that «the spray makes»

From a surfacing whale

The tall redwood tearing down the cliff

The lovers kiss, and in uni-verse, exhale

Walk the mile with me

Passenger to our passage’s end

How my love became heart coil of bone

A heart coil of bone to the ocean floor, I’ll send

Now in this house, way out in dark water

Now in this house, find the girl inside

Opening my legs to the deepest of oceans

Now here, I bury my stonechild

Now here, I bury my stonechild

Now here, I bury my stonechild

Now here, I bury my stonechild

What false darkened force possesses me?

Would true love dare try to possess me?

What false darkened force possesses me?

Would true love dare try to possess me?

What false darkened force possesses me?

Would true love dare try to possess me?
