lyrics

inundation
not a process, just cold reality
the final touches on a seamless expression
and he’s ready to face the flood
her warm breath is sulfur to his eyes
her sweet tongue, a brutal lash to his spine

so he keeps his heart locked away on the mountainside
a heart made of fire
living inside a shell of stone
these splinters have stuck in my throat…
(god, let me live today
let me breathe
these splinters have stuck in my throat)

“where are those words
you left behind?”

so he left some words up high on a mountainside
and told himself
“if it happens, I’ll be ready”
(if there’s lightning, I’ll be ready for the storm)
the branches bent to hear his thoughts
and withered in dismay

so he keeps his heart locked away on the mountainside
a heart made of fire
living inside a shell of stone
and the branches knew he would never be coming home
(god, let me live today
let me breathe
these splinters have stuck in my throat)

“how long will you fall
how long, dreaming that you can fly?”

so, testing the air, he cries
“it’s a blind faith, a cruel waste
one bitter taste
so I know I need this sweet sensation”

a heart made of ashes
carried away by the wind
as his words fade…
