lyrics

-- Lyrics --

Under that burning ether that falls
Down on these walls, burning my arms
I’ve been alarmed of what is said by you
For every word I could undo
I’ve been uncrossed and
I’ve been untrue
I’ve been the thorn, I’ve been the heart
But the heart of my own
Burn it down low
The light in your verse and the shadow between
The way that I was when I used to know
If I go, what do I hold?
Ah the maid or the mother I’ll be
If only the loom and a thread were whole
It is work to be dancing out here
If tomorrow I’m mending the empty bones
There are roses that come without seeking
There are the ones that I have to sew
In your verses that I am repeating
The way that I was when I used to know
I wrote on these walls a simple charm to keep the wolves at bay
Gave all my heart, the strength of my arms, to hold you close and safe
Oh I kept my eyes closed, I never know where the shadows are these days
I stood in the room of a house divided but it washed away from me
It washed away from me
Oh, how it washed away from me
It washed away to take my own
Burn it down low
The light in your verse
And the shadow between the way that I was when I used to know If I go, what do I hold?
Ah, the maid or the mother I’ll be
If only the loom and the thread were whole
There are roses that come without seeking
They are the ones that I have to sew
In your verses that I am repeating
The way that I was when I used to know
