[Intro]


[Verse]
           
I tried to tel

  
l you
              
I didn't know 

       
how to stay
              
You believe sh

      
e can see thro

ugh
              
Cutting at the

        
 silent clay
              
A relief becko

  
n 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]

Once again
      
Empty horses
              
Gallop through

            
 the violet do


or
              
Follow red cro

     
oked courses
              
Shadows on the

         
 moonlit floor
              
Oh my stars wi

     
nged creatures
              
Gathering in s

      
ilken height
              
Like the last 

      
human teachers

[Verse]
           
Once again, we

      
 must bleed ne

w
              
Even as the ho

    
urs shake
              
Crystal blood 

       
like a dream t

rue
              
A ripple in th

            
e wound and wa


ke

[Pre-Chorus]
           
You believe I 

        
believe too
              
That you are t

            
he river of li


ght
              
Who I love tha

          
t I cling to
              
In the belly o

            
f the empty ni

Very thin with

      
 your mother
              
Tall as a pale

       
 green tree
              
Very wild brig

      
ht as winter
              
Rising with a 

      
prism key
              
And a child to

 
 deliver
              
Taken with the

           
 blood and vin

e
              
As the first l
