lyrics
I crawl from the river to see
A reflection of what I’ve become
Peeping through the cracks of my fingertips, the skyline weeps with me
With a storm brewing
So fragile, oh, so fragile
I find shelter under the table where we spent hours, so many hours
Painting, fighting, growing up
As the heavens finally open, flames roar across the horizon
Surely someday, someday something has to change
So I rip myself from safety, hands shaking
Like the boy I am
I climb the table, and I dance
The flames move with such innate, destructive beauty
And we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance
Flesh, just a cushion
For grief and for love
It melts down my face, off my bones
And lies with the ash of the village
A reflection of what I’ve become
Peeping through the cracks of my fingertips, the skyline weeps with me
With a storm brewing
So fragile, oh, so fragile
I find shelter under the table where we spent hours, so many hours
Painting, fighting, growing up
As the heavens finally open, flames roar across the horizon
Surely someday, someday something has to change
So I rip myself from safety, hands shaking
Like the boy I am
I climb the table, and I dance
The flames move with such innate, destructive beauty
And we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance
Flesh, just a cushion
For grief and for love
It melts down my face, off my bones
And lies with the ash of the village
