Everything you'd live and die for
Reasons leading you through here
Perished matriarchal bonds

Failing innocence of love
When the world beckons your approach
It swallows you whole


You'll believe what you're meant to believe
In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible

Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul


Prayed I would leave this place someday
Joined to alarm from long ago now unconcerned
Euphorically floating upon wax wings where is the sun?

I still see her face; her beauty her grace
Transfixed like a light in front of me
It follows my soul

And swallows me whole

You'll believe what you're meant to believe

In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible
Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul


Left, right, left, right...


His branches reached so far before
His leaves were bold extremities with great control
Wasted along; he died alone


You'll believe what you're meant to believe
In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible

Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul


But the right hand hates the left and the sea's upset with the sky
So we press on in spite of the spite
Happiness is a knife when the world's on its side and your mind's on fire


Trying to find the trouble with the trouble I've found
Begging my god to make the wheels go round

Eat so much but I never get full
Earth opened up and swallowed us whole
