I control the ships the sails
the open gates in fairy-tales
move through me inside it's free
but I'll sell you things you didn't see
I was stripped of teen-age skin
in the silent sound of dust again
I lost something in silver sky
I'm not your only fucking star
and I'm no more than who you are
show me to a clearing
reassemble all you've kept
and the bones we burned you resurrect
I'll show you what i'm fearing

Sundowning
I don't need it back
sundowning
a new zodiac
sundowning
sundowning
let the words ring

I control the ships the seas
of fairy-tales and falsities
of desert sand orion sky
revealing light and starless nights
of purity and father blame
of memory and mother name
it's all the same sometimes to me
it's all the same I don't believe

That I'm your only fucking star
I'm no more than who you are
keep me from the feeling
reassemble all you've kept
and the bones I burned you resurrect
don't you hate me when I'm kneeling?
when I'm healing?

Sundowning
I don't need it back
sundowning
a new zodiac
sundowning
sundowning
let the words ring
sundowning
