Lyrics

I’m a flower unwithered, the soft you kept hidden

I am the storm that you long for in good weather

Cashmere, silk, honey, milk

colliding with iron and leather

You’d have me drown for my sins

There are sharks in these waters

But parts of stars are in my heart

The waves are mine, i’m divine, and that’s why

I kneel for no one

I heed no command

One foot here and one beyond

I am more than a man

I'm the child of the shadows

The upturned destiny

The face in the fog

that I’ve seen in my dreams

And I am lightning in a bottle

I'm a maelstrom you’re caught in

I'm a torch song from a god and

I am not scared

When I open my mouth to growl in response

Lavender skies touch the tip of my tongue

Traces of sugar in overproof rum

and I sing along – I sing along

I kneel for no one

I heed no command

One foot here and one beyond

I am more than a man

I'm the child of the sun

The upturned destiny

The face in the fog

that I’ve seen in my dreams

And I am lightning in a bottle

I'm a maelstrom you’re caught in

I'm a torch song from a god and

I am not scared

Can I tell you that I’m having a bad night?

Will you come over? I’ll make dinner, just bring wine

We’ll listen to shanties and old folk songs

Poorly harmonize until the neighbours cry

We’ll do the dishes, you can wash, I’ll dry

What awaits tomorrow, I don’t know

So tie your fraying edges to my soul

The dishes make up towers, dragons guard each grain of gold

So embroider me with laughter, keep me close

Then your shoulder brushes mine

You dig my heart out from my sleeve with just your eyes

Place one hand in mine and the other on my side

We’ll dance as if there’s no reason to be terrified

To ballads about villains losing fights

Into the great unknown we go

So braid our hands together, don’t let go

The dishes make up towers, dragons guard each grain of gold

But you’ll never need to cry yourself to sleep alone

They were woven, the plates left in the sink

Somewhere among the roots of our souls

When I say ”we must, we should, be better”, you hum my name

And wrap me in the tapestry of fate

In threads that tickle my chest, stir me awake

Wake up and greet the sun

Soon will come the springtime

Storms are cruel, salt our wounds

as we clutch the sheets

Wake up and greet the sun

Soon will come the summer

Bright skies dawn and gently warn

"Do not fall back asleep"

Wake up and greet the sun

Soon will come the autumn

Deep within, you feel something

It's more than a dream

Wake up and greet the sun

Soon will come the winter

Days like night, cold that bites

but glitter fills the fields

Wake up and greet the sun

Soon will come the springtime

If you're afraid, I will wait,
but wait impatiently 

When she was sixteen, someone met her in a dream

He said ”when the time comes and you need it, call for me”

To shield her from the coming weather

He gifted her his favorite sweater

She knows that even if she never

Finds him, she has this forever

One day he will say

”Come with me, let’s run away

I’ve been looking for you for so long, so goddamn long

Let’s heal the trauma in our bones”

Any time she wished she didn’t walk alone

Down those steps made of stone

He was there, right before her, echoing through time

To let her know

Later she dreamed of a tidal wave

That tore his hand from hers, washed him away

To free him from the iron tethers

She gifted him a seabird’s feather

He knows that even if he never

Finds her, he can fly forever

One day she will say

”Come with me, let’s run away

I’ve been looking for you for so long, so goddamn long

Let’s heal the trauma in our bones”

Any time he wished he didn’t walk alone

Down the wet cobblestone

She was there, right behind him, echoing through time

To let him know

We can’t see the threads of fate until we’ve reached the end

The things that gave us migraines may turn out to be our friends

When we end up in a situation that feels like it was meant to be

It’s invisible ropes pulling us closer to our destiny

One day they will say

”Put on that feather sweater, let’s fly away

I’ve been looking for you for so long, so goddamn long
Let’s heal the trauma in our bones”
