Chris DuPont - Retrieve (feat. Olivia Dear)

I knew from the day you found me
You're carved from the stone of a mountainside
Knuckles a'twisted from keeping your fist tight
Dear, let me stay beside you
When the creases spread along your brow
Separate the bloodlines that weigh your body down

Whatever you want to tell me, I believe it
You come to think your worth is gone
We may retrieve it

I don't have a decent answer
Why the shadows cling to the best of us
Or who could partake in the breaking of your trust
But I'll pour you a glass of water
When your teeth are red from licking the wounds
There is no shame in grieving what's taken far too soon

There's a fullness beyond fatigue
No, nothing is clean if you choose to love
I didn't anticipate the ways I'd be undone
But on the other side of a breakdown
Is a silver lining for you darlin
When everything that died in you is fertile in your garden

Nobody bleeds the same, No one denies your pain, believe it/leave it
