lyrics

We were hiding long before we knew it
and locked ourselves inside
boxes bound in ribbon all of velvet
tombs all washed in white
What can put to rest the weightless humming of the old ghosts in our ears?

We were hiding long before we knew it
and locked ourselves inside
boxes bound in ribbon all of velvet
tombs all washed in white
Have you felt that quiet question burrowing beneath your skin?

Here we tore ourselves out by the root,
never learned to water into bloom.
My feet carried me away too soon,
never learned to water into bloom.
I try to keep what’s easiest to lose,
never learned to water into bloom

Like a heart my face was beating red
And like a face the heart can just pretend

Have you felt that quiet question burrowing beneath your skin?
What can put to rest the weightless humming of the old ghosts I let in?

I knew I was hollow, I was poor
I knew I was free, I was yours.
