Bears In Trees - Cassiopeia

You were talking on Zoom about women in Ancient Greece
Compared to the myths where they were represented
I sat across from you reading Ulysses (I sat across from you reading Ulysses)
And whilst I try to project some intellect
I'm not convinced I knew what it all meant
But I did know that the words were so pretty (I did know that the words were so pretty)

I will give you my palm to help you walk through the hurtful
Want to give you that calm that you have so long searched for
Whilst I make space for all the parts of me
That I do not want, I let them be
As minds twist through the fractured expanse of our being (expanse of our being)

We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia

And the rough our diamond was in seemed so rough
That no one bothered to start digging it up,
But we carved our own pickaxe from the rubble with our teeth (with our teeth)
Because life is beautiful but life is work,
So full of joy, so full of hurt,
The starlight meets us in the dirt before I wake you with coffee and peace

I will give you my palm to help you walk through the hurtful
Want to give you that calm that you have so long searched for
Whilst I make space for all the parts of me
That I do not want, I let them be
As minds twist through the fractured expanse of our being (expanse of our being)

We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia

I hear the secret whisperings of the world
In the curves of all your bursts of laughter
You are so beautifully so brutally out of comprehension
And how lonely I was in the before and after

I will give you my palm to help you walk through the hurtful
Want to give you that calm that you have so long searched for
Whilst I make space for all the parts of me
That I do not want, I let them be
As minds twist through the fractured expanse of our being (expanse of our being)

We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
