Her Wings

(album: The Noble Art Of Self Destruction - 2023)

A long, long time ago
When the sun hid behind the moon, I
Saw you like a flair in the cove
Tucked your name into my lacuna
I could have just waited to turn cold
But your love was a dawning inferno
Blistering to touch
But still, I couldn't get enough
'Cause there's warmth to be found in a fire
Thaw me on the funeral pyre
And hang me out to dry
Somewhere that I know she'll find me

The sound of her wings
Beating rapid
Distantly
I hear her call my name
I drop everything
'Cause I'm enchanted
Desperately, I hear her call to me
Through it all

Brutally, I'll probably
Be this way forever
My life
Was always just a pretty lie
But she's a bitter truth that I
Can't help but gospelise
I'd follow her forever

Take my soul again
The sound of her wings
Beating rapid
Distantly
I hear her call my name
I drop everything
'Cause I'm enchanted
Distantly, I hear her call to me
Through it all

Rip me up into your grasp
Take me where I can't come back
Roll the credits, fade to black
"Her wings"
