about

In the name of resilience,
Everyone take care of each other out there. Ghosts too.

lyrics

Lyrics:

And then the ghosts came without warning
As if the hatchling bird turned upon her mother,
As if the sky turned sulfur in the morning.
The streets were choked with dead walking among the living
And I saw the hand of ancestry deliver
Present past and future in a letter
Written in a hand I can't begin to decipher
But I know it's laced with arsenic and amber.
The true test of faith is the hare in the gaze of the raptor -
Does he freeze in his place or bolt away for cover?

What do you do when the wind comes for blood?
It's true I've met with ghosts before but never knew a single one so quick to the knife
To cut the thread of silken twine braiding lungs to earth and death to daylight.
I'll read the verse they penned and drink the poison with my eyes wide and seeing,
And may my voice be quick to sing their praises 'ere my wand'ring spirit leaves me.
How'd we get here?
We should have left the city sometime last year.
And I weep when I want to feel the dawn light on my cheek,
To hold a lover's shoulder against my teeth.
And I swear with all of heaven watching me

That I won't repent til the silence is brought to the sea,
Chasing the fruit of the garden away with me.
Dancing with ghosts, in the end do you follow or lead?

Consider each footfall a prayer
And each breath a song
May you fill this place with light
As it fills you with life.
