lyrics

Where’s the levity
that now looks so brief
and that thin brevity
itself a sort of thief

the trees slope with grief
where there once was some gain
one more morning filled with frost
the same dragon never slain

if theres a puzzle laid in words
like a maze we might have learned (observe?)
then there’s a siren that we heard
and our steady climb deterred

I see you’re gearing for a fight
such a pugilist tonight
I am cross but I’m not armed
never had a heart to cause you harm

Chorus
Cradle these words like a wound
or evidence of room
to heal the things we said and did
or the things we just assumed

And so I am twice the thief
‘cause I never got relief
just laid there on a leash
insane with disbelief

I’ll no longer nurse my heart
with the bitter milk of hate
A better day yearns
And I will not be late

Chorus
Cradle these words like a wound
or evidence of room
to heal the things we said and did
or the things we just assumed
