lyrics

Looking through your eyes, I see the ocean crying. Look into your closet, skeletons are smiling. Look into their eyes and realize your mistakes. Look in through the dark glass, see the past you forgave.

And though we may dance through the morning tide, We’ll try sublime and liquefy. And though we may drive on to the sunrise, They gave us maps, they gave us time. And though the wind from the mountain came down, It blows through me and onto you.

Like the dopamine lifting through my brain. Like the battered sea sifting through the rain. I can see you call the sun. I can hear you wake no one.

Yours, the subtle glow knocking at my door. Yours, the frequency of bringing flame to war. Can you hear me on the peak? Can you see me fall and speak?

You’re the gushing blood rushing from my head. You’re the chemistry of acid-laden lead. Lend an ear, dear, bend and hear, Send my love another year.

Suddenly, you’re leaving me Addicted as I am. To your sudden chemistry, Your substance to be dammed.

And the next time you see me I’ll be crawling on the shore, On bloody knuckles, Begging water, begging more.

Take the last swig from your flask, Let the letters burn. Take your wig and take your mask. Throw my ashes from the urn.

Finally, you’ve set me free, I’ll drink another well From the spring of clarity, I’ll carry it from hell.

It’s the medicine melting you to bone. It’s the gentle kiss calling you back home. It’s the yearning spark burning in your eyes. It’s the oxygen siphoned from surprise.

I am the rising hair flaring up your spine. I am the beckoning reckoning your time. I am the quiet crow growing in your ear. I am the warming hope swarming you from fear.

All your breaths can burn. Yes, this son has learned. I’m the one who will turn Away from you now!
