Cassiopeia - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

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

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 are so pretty

[Pre-Chorus]

(Ooh)

(One, two)

(Let's hope I get it right this time)

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

We mend together, gaze to Cassiopeia

[Verse 2]

And the rough our diamond was in seemed so rough

But 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 feeds us in the dirt

Before I wake you with coffee and peace

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

We mend together, gaze to Cassiopeia

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

We mend together, gaze to Cassiopeia

We-we mend together, gaze to Cassiopeia
