lyrics

In your meadow flower noose
That grips around the bones of your neck
You approach me from the wilderness
With all those broken prayers in your breath
Yes, I meet you in my crawling shape
To taste the cherry sweetness of a draw
And the rivers of my crying days
Disperse into the distance as you call

I was scared to lose my footing among
The shivering and frightened little leaves
Who cry out for their mother-tree
The synthesis and comfort that she brings
But my conquest bought our current lot
These feelings lingers restless by the shield
And while you said you saw the light
I was busy riding down its beam

You spread your fingers cross my blades
And conjured just the prospects of this land
But the illusions that emerge from here
Goes beyond whatever dreams i'll ever spend
My love has found its seed in you
And bleeds down the scars of your thighs
Where the gospel finds its dying place
And language makes a fool of every liar

I would open up my form
And let the shadows of my past and future pass
But like a child I have ran to hide
So many times I don't know my way back
But if my tempus were to fall
I'd crave to see the muscles of your smile
How they warp around your hungry words
Like a moth surrounded by the fire
