lyrics

to realize the ways that we failed
i watched your beak as you exhaled
silvery and lining my body
these stupid limbs hang by my side

a flame engulfs this naked sky
and though it chokes it never dies
a wooden pier caught my eye
this phantom limb a silent cry
you watched me die

the moths flew in, flew out with flame again i think i've seen their faces
in a book that i read when i was young
you were so out of line, freaking out, illuminating
look at me now through that lens, i'm hollow
every grave looks the same, what's the point? you are radiant
incandescent lightning bulbs
angel pyros and i'm about ready to acquire
this providence ablaze

and in our father's rooms, we sit and wait for death
no secrets angels kept, we kept ourselves from being lovers (mothers)
and even in a dream our voices echoing
sweet baby choir sings, a hymn a dirge so dark it twists me

so in the dark we shared our parts but what a wicked change of heart
decisions faced are all but made though time is short i'm not afraid
let me kiss your tiny fingers they rub my lips to say goodbye
on this pier i stroke free will forget to breathe and i stand still

troubles fade into us, i was so wrapped up
i couldn't even lift my arms to sound off the alarms
but in this faded will, i cursed death, i laughed hard, i fell still
and i'm not sure if i even stopped short of a life without remorse
but i will return one day as a ghost or a portion of a man
and though smoke stacks it may not seem true, you'll see
i am not who i claim to be

contemplating all these signs, my life and dreams combine
you came to me with all those faults, i wasn't sure where to start

and i know it's so so hard, it's everything that you knew
but in the time we shared, i never questioned you

you know those ancient books i read were all wrong, dead wrong
