Coverings

(album: Offerings - 2018)

After movement, after song
After all the guests are gone

Softer edges ossify
Gargoyle at the break of dawn

Eyes upon the darkening stain
As it spreads across the picture frame

Before the faces disappear
Burn the image in my brain

You know what you can do
Yeah you know
You know what you can do
But you won't
You know what you can do
Yeah you know
You know that you have to
Let it go

Saw you in a dream before
Standing at my open door

I would wait to watch you go
Follow you out in the cold

The noise surrounds me
Everything's dissolving out of the scene
The waves are pounding
Swallowed all the buildings into the sea
Now we're returning
Every part of you I feel in me

Saw you in a dream before
Standing at my open door
