about
Thrown from the edge, to drown, to reflect, to transform.
lyrics
All exhaled to the depths,
Our deepest breaths,
Expressed,
In halos,
Foaming to the brim,
All to begin,
The sin,
Of high hopes,
Wash away repent,
Feel cold and sweat,
Forget,
The old bones.
All that's left to last,
Shimmers away,
The sun comes up,
Marks today,
And I'm high enough,
To move across the space,
Between the points,
That keep us, keep us, keep us,
Face to face,
Set adrift from ground,
Set adrift beyond the sound,
Weight that won't leave my head,
Keeps me sinking to the depths,
And it's all around,
Our voice against the waves,
Sways that move the joints,
And lead us, lead us, lead us, lead us to embrace,
Breath,
Oh, won't it come?
Strands,
Of that yellow summer sun,
I never protest.
I hew what's left, what's left to say?
There's enough of it here for us to bathe,
Skin that's stuck like poverty's mark,
A touch that breathes as much as your worst,
And I've retired,
To a place that doesn't feel so old,
And all desire,
Abandoned me, abandoned you.
