letra de carnations - the cripple lilies

Loading...

[verse 1]
if carnations heal my heart
then i’ll collect the pollen
and grow flowers in the furrow of your brow

i’ll take the words you say
and forget the sorrow
like ghosts blowing through me
’cause that’s what you do to me

[verse 2]
in spite of all this gravity
i’ll hoist you to my shoulders
like a dirge without a sound
i’ll walk you through the ending

the cool earth on your feet
soon you’ll find it soothing
i’ll paint behind your eyelids
a dream of childhood

[chorus]
just like everything that’s sown
you wake with the sun in your eyes
chance whispers in sweet breath
angels breathing down your neck
sorrow won’t save me this time
[verse 3]
in silence i’ve put away
my labor and my leisure
and let this rust run through me
decay can be soothing

false starts and maladies
they rest between my shoulders
a void pulling at the seam
too silver for a stitch

[chorus]
just like all that’s sown
you wake with the sun in your eyes
and spring losing in sweet breath
angels breathing down your neck
sorrow won’t save me this time

[post-chorus]
and this unwinding coat of clay
is fallow anyway
and i’ll be waiting
i’ll be waiting

deep into the fall for a moment
when i hear that cold call
spring rushes move my soul
and mum petals fall

- the cripple lilies
