lyrics

I’m the one you saw hiding
Behind the land locked boat
I’m the one who couldn’t stop crying
Before I drew the bridge above the moat

You’re the one who’s out of reach
Whose voice I long to hear
Trouble is there’s so many other voices
Yours gotta be loudest, it’s gotta ring clear

CHORUS
Believe the lost when they tell their stories
Step back and leave space around your ears
Don’t let the dark halo of false auras
The creosote of lies, Deny the seer

I see the vultures circling your head
Carrion in their beaks
Their claws with poison you
I’d sooner wish you dead

Build a skyward tower, find a cure
Strictures and scriptures will all let you bleed
Cut strip and fail you
Breath, light and moon naught else do you need

CHORUS

I am turning to the desert
And into the sun
You kept me in caves long enough
Your arms are noose like, your mouth a gun

Don’t turn your swollen eyes on me
I can see you and your stones three
They are not lucky or sacred, no more than dust,
In your fists as I was, cursed and crushed

OUTRO
Drip of your leaves and revive me, dew
Pooled for days and nights alone
Under succulent gaze
I will be reborn
