lyrics

There’s a flower that grows
roots in the snow
And to pull it breaks open frozen caverns below
Where the winds of hell crack their cheeks, raging and blowing
And a human voice calling “I’m so deathly alone”

It’s like the negative space -
When you take it away
And there’s another whole picture that the new light betrays.
They say “pick one and paint over all the mess that we’ve made”
As if we couldn’t smell shit if we can’t see the stain.

And I don’t believe the world would be a terrible place
If they dignified us with a liveable baseline.
I’ve felt something like peace seeing sun in your face,
I believe in good feelings hurt will never replace.

And I’d like to claim part of you will always be mine
But I know it’s just words, it’s only moments in time
I want a life without fear and the good earth to thrive,
I’m walking forward, hands open, with a new world in mind

It’s like the negative space -
When you take it away
And there’s another whole picture that the new light betrays:
They say “pick one and paint over all the mess that we’ve made”
As if we couldn’t smell shit if we can’t see the stain.

In that dream you said you saw me shoot a hole in the sky -
you didn’t think twice when I urged you to climb
scrambling up towards the puncture, past the clouds and the spires.
I’ll earn that trust somehow if it takes till I die.

And I don’t believe the world would be a terrible place
If they dignified us with a liveable baseline.
I’ve felt something like peace seeing sun in your face,
I believe in good feelings hurt will never replace.
