[Intro]

    (x4)


[Verse 1]

            
  I tried to t

ell you
             
I didn’t know 

       
how to stay
             
You believe sh

      
e can see thro

ugh
             
Cutting at the

         
 silent clay
             
A relief, beck

    
on deep blue
             
Fettered in th

         
e magnet sun
             
Eat the gun as

     
 it feeds you
             
Spitting up th

     
e oxygen
            
Once again

 
            
Once again

 


[Verse 2]

             
Once again, em

     
pty horses
             
Gallop through

             
 the violet do

or
             
Follow red, cr

      
ooked courses
             
Shadows on the

         
 moonlit floor
             
Oh my stars, w

       
inged creature

s
             
Gathering in s

      
ilken height
             
Like the last 

                
human teachers


[Verse 3]

             
Once again, wе

        
 must bleed ne

w
             
Even as the ho

     
urs shakе
             
Crystal blood 

       
like a dream t

rue
             
A ripple in th

            
e wound and wa

ke
             
You believe, I

      
 believe too
             
That you are t

            
he river of li

ght
             
Who I love, th

      
at I cling to
             
In the belly o

             
f the empty ni

From the 31st

Swallows in th

            
e windless fie

ld
             
Very thin, wit

Tall as a pale

         
 green tree
             
Very wild, bri

        
ght as winter
             
Rising with a 

      
prism key
             
And a child to

    
 deliver
             
Taken with the

            
 blood and vin
