lyrics

there are things worse than death
and they're all on my breath
and becoming more true
every second i spend with you
there's a world that is good
but it's not this one & if i could
i would leave if i knew
that it was waiting there for me

i will come
i will crawl
i will repeat the sinner's call
i will drink
spread my wings
and cry out when they're taken from me
but that's not all that's expected
it's just a debt i resurrected
from my childhood promises
to a voice that we invent

there are lies cultivated
swallowed whole & integrated
into our dreams//memories
and our smiling families' faces
but if you look close enough
there's a pull behind the push
and a gentle certainty
that existed before me
