Rattle at Will

To the universe I'm wasting your time Bending my veins in your face, how do I dare? Out here in the thickening air Clutch the body I'm given Is there a way to live? I'd die to know it I'd die to feel, is this the fear? Is this the fear? Is this the fear? When I believed you'd tell me Never to need like I do And the tallest crane in the skyline I was to you And all that I could taste was your spit And all your caution Needn't be careful with me, love I'd say rattle at will, I've been drinking my milk And like trembling leaves right before the big freeze I was with you Oh, the way it came in shakes like a clumsy rail Smoking brakes and sparklers All out of sorts just as it goes after the doors close High up, to you I was once --- Rattle At Will - Laura Stevenson
