lyrics

Couldn't hold down the drink, you spit your life all over me
You exposed your leaves, letting everyone see the rotting tree
The motion sickness of your first love, and hiding behind the car accident
Crashed into me, stripped away my vitality

The fire you spent so long afraid of, never danced inside of me - not once felt it leap
Didn't come home from Savannah, left our ghost at the docks - wrote your name with the rocks
The fires over us in the daylight, I felt their beam follow me, touching me, changing me

You were always afraid of burning, your beauty blurred by pain
The tusk you grasp for daily, evaporates to dust before settling

The fire you spent so long afraid of never danced inside of me

this album feels cosmic in every sense of the word. i feel like a part of something big and important every time i listen to Between Bodies -- it's basicaly like a journey into space. truly inspiring and melancholic as usual. gravewhistle
