lyrics

I though I heard you reciting hymns
But it was just half conversation
Speaking to yourself again
I had drifted off so carelessly
Like a vessel left untied
You came like a stormy sky
Crawled back into my head
Like demons do in films
With galaxies in your eyes
And long, pale limbs
And the closest thing to an angel
That you’ll ever be
Is when your waving your body
In the snow and the sleet

Display me in glass
Let the sun fade my paint
Like memories of the past
I still hear them faintly

You are my heavy ocean
You’re the depth inside my lungs
You are sorrow, You’re conviction
You are the lack
You are the emptiness
You you are the frailty in my voice
As I sing to you
You’re nothing like an angel
You’re blood, flesh, bone and marrow
I’m the one who held the door and
Refused to let you in.

Acting as the wax
Menacing the flame
I cling to the past
And slow my pace
