lyrics

tracing the broken lines
i echo back in between
digits and digits undone
time’s a widow who weeps
and for her i breathe
cut me down
cut me up like loose leaf
hang my property out to dry
sinew settling like confetti
and here i am falling

like grace
gather me in stones
to skim the divide

unshakeable my faith
untameable my rage
‘cause collared and chained
a lion is still a lion even when covered and caged

muddy and muddled inside
i know my role, i’ve walked these roads before
running on empty until
i hit the wall, slide onto the floor

cut me down
cut me up i need this
hang my head in my hands and cry
shattered pieces of me go missing
i’m so dizzy from falling

baptized
in the underworld
just to feel the contrast when i rise
