I'm a fountain of blood

In the shape of a girl

You're the bird on the brim

Hypnotized by the whirl

Drink me, make me feel real

Wet your beak in the stream

Game we're playing is life

Love's a two-way dream

Tide will show you the way

I'm a path of cinders

Burning under your feet

You're the one who walks me

I'm your one-way street

I'm a whisper in water

Secret for you to hear

You're the one who grows distant

When I beckon you near

The tide will show you the way

I'm a tree that grows hearts

One for each that you take

You're the intruder's hand

I'm the branch that you break
