dreamed i was her only child wrapped in burning blankets on the ice licked clean of spoiled honey from a distant rotten hive a boy like me can only dare to try to be seen
but the vision was wrong i sold it for a song its colours were out of key horses charging the bay aflame all the small lights swept away i’m ready to see you now
i’m ready to see
in the path of her last false start no one’s holding their breath all we have are these pounding hearts and whatever comes next
dreamed i was a lonely lake wrapped in quiet miles of unmapped space from cradle to caldera passing notes from cage to cage a bird like me can only dare to try to fly free
in the eye of the song i’m already gone but maybe i won’t draw your fire singing your name because i’ve loved you from far away but it’s only far away
