lyrics

Roller, I’ve seen you in my dreams
I’ll know you once I’ve missed everything
I didn’t see you like you thought I did
I didn’t want to, I was just a kid

What did I know then?
Nothing, nothing, nothing
What did I know then?
Nothing, nothing, nothing

Laid down in a bed of wool, you found me
I surrender to her swarms, she’s calling
Fingers first then hands then toes then nothing
To be a thunder, shrieking woman, yearning

What did I know then?
Something, something, something
What did I know then?
Something, something, something

---

Free, I did not know you well then
Summer speaks and you came flooding
Now I see summer was just fleeting
I can speak, this bears repeating
