lyrics

he birthed a seed in a sun
a runner hungry for the feel of new ground
and on this watermarked world
i'm searching for the sound

and it comes with tongues and guns
the smell of the grave
and the chance to be human
when the rupture comes
will i be for sale
shed my savior shed my vulture skin
and be pale

gilded, featureless
surrounded on all sides
i saw the world through new eyes
gilded, featureless
surrounded on all sides
cries and crimes held back
with a binded knife

quiet coward wasting hours
a broken house on a rotting base
just going where the water takes me

have the words sunk deep like john
a believer, a figure, a picture, a martyr
when the rupture comes
will i be for sale
shed my savior shed my vulture skin
and be pale

gilded, featureless
surrounded on all sides
i saw the world through new eyes
gilded, featureless
surrounded on all sides
cries and crimes held back
with a binded knife

i am one of a thousand
and i make up this island
i'm a million hands
i'm a weak tree branch
