Russian Dolls (feat. Margo Seibert & Ben Moss)

lyrics

DAVID
And on the fourth day,
We discovered our bodies fit together
Like Russian dolls.
When your spine lined my chest
You were exactly one size smaller.

And we made love that way
With the back of your head sitting gently
Under my chin.
Then we slept in a knot
As if my arms could reach around you twice.

At dawn:
You read the news out loud
And I—
I held both cups of coffee
So you could keep on sitting in my lap.
When all the words were read
You said, "It's time to go to work."

And I let in the day
Tied the curtains back
And let the light burst in
Through the floating dust.
Then my room was empty
And my arms were empty
And my lap was empty
Just like my eggshell heart.

ELLA
I know the world is incomplete.
There is a notch in the corner.
I want to fit in
Jigsaw snug;
I want to be the missing piece.

I know the world is incomplete
Because we’re all hungry.
I ladle soup into styrofoam cups
Every day
And no one’s ever full.

I know the world is incomplete.
How your edges always fray.
I want to be your thread.
I want to be your yarn.
I want to unravel you every night.
I will keep knitting ‘til you return.

I know the world is incomplete.
God gave up before the last day,
But we don’t have to.

My world is incomplete without you.
