"Fire Escape" lyrics

"Fire Escape"

I crawl and sing
Your walls to sleep
Fleet follow me
Bright energy
I called you here
Head like a stone
While I braid and bind
My hands alone, I

Freefall into
An endless dream
Fumes suffocate
Light blossoming

And as you pull
My head away
I'm flying down
The fire escape

Seven strongmen on my tongue
Creaking iron, a loaded gun
Spiral shiver, violet lakes
Ignite a rampart every day
Cypher secrets, guard and grind
I'll fire them back to you this time
Seven other water's wake
And flood the last names from your face

And as you pull
My head away
I'm flying down
The fire escape
