Throw A Match

(album: Such Ferocious Beauty - 2023)

Wouldn't I throw a match
Into your fireworks warehouse
To learn what man regards as evil
God could care less about

Oh wouldn't I drop a fly
Into your bowl of guacamole
To learn that everything you know
Is just another story

Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as a sea
Steadfast like a forest
Begin again with me

I can still make you sad
I guess that's a good thing
But my life comes apart
Whenever you're missing

And I move back towards you
One beat at a time
Heartbreak again
With your hand in mine

Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as a sea
Steadfast like a forest
Begin again with me

Wouldn't I throw a rock
Through your childhood window
To get your attention
'Neath the flannel and the pillows

I'll let you know
You're a luminous beam
Scorching the heavens
Screaming out to me

Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as a sea
Steadfast like a forest
Begin again with me

Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as a sea
Steadfast like a forest
Begin again with me

Wouldn't I throw a match
Into your fireworks warehouse
To learn what man regards as evil
God could care less about
