lyrics

The father fears for his daughter.

I guess I’ve been repeating
The same mistakes
Over and over
With the worst intentions
But I’ve come home
And one way or another we’ll live like a family

Cause the surface is such a lonely place to live
Dwelling on the appearance that never brings you closer

She sings and wakes the dead
Harmonies lifting their flesh
It’s odd how their bones wither like twigs
It’s buried down deep, but never builds you up

The prophet encourages the father.

“You keep so much of yourselves
For yourselves
Be filled, be filled
Be still and content
There’s no time to know the insides of everything”

All will be ash before the tide
Wash and walk again
Cause baby it never leaves your blood
Baby I’m covered in blood

There is rest,
There is peace
There is hope for you
For the young man and his visions
The prophet and his dreams
My heart breaks for you
I will proclaim for you
Be free Be peace
Be like your king

The father is resolved

I found peace again
But she won’t be bothering me tonight
This is where I’ll always be
I built this bed
I’ve dug this grave
Every god I understood is every god I ever made

Are you brave again?
