lyrics

It’s not the torrents it seems not the bite in the flea 
not the blood which is drawn its the mark made before
 it’s not the cloak it’s the hood  
Not the veil yet the flood it flies over we see
(is it you or is it me) 
 like in the wake of the tide the drown of the bride
 her fingers lacing the top of the pool 
not the wind dragging the dregs but fear of under the surface 
the leap in the faith, the lesson in loss… 

hey hey staff divined the truth echoes across
 the unhealed wound in the good leg that breaks 
Not the arrowhead dark but the unlikely spark
The cut of the ride and why the earth divided
 for the gift and the give the way it was driven 
not the hammer the blow how could we have known 
being downturned yet all was forgiven  

In everything before I would never have thought
 it’s not that you don’t as you do 
it’s all been true and I meant every single word  
made of me as the long day with the fault in the line 

Open-earth surgery beating they bait me
of all aches and of worth
 human mistake as I am made of only
they are not my bones-true
  blue skies clouded eyes
oh good god  there’s nothing else
 just know

 I am and still do
