"Funeral Pyre" lyrics
"Funeral Pyre"
I wake up with the same pain every night
Digging a hatchet into my left side
Clearing my chest of something to burn
Ash for a decorative urn you keep in your mantelpiece;
Like a trophy for everything
That withers eventually
Call me a coward, but I'm too scared to leave
'cause I want you to be the last thing I see
Call me a coward, but I'm too scared to leave
Watched you pouring lighter fluid out onto the leaves
And I would've loved you with the dying fire
Let you smother me down to the embers
Frostbite turning my limbs as black as cinder of funeral pyre
And I would have stayed if you asked me to
Stood outside till my lips turn blue
I wouldn't have blamed you
For leaving me there on the porch while you drank gasoline
'cause it's what you needed so bad
And it's true
It's nothing that we could do

Dreaming in the dark
Trouble seems so far
Their thoughts were ours
But now we dream apart
Now we dream apart
Boiling water
But I'm just content with time well spent
Savor the taste...

I mistakenly called them by your name
I was let down it wasn't the same
I'm doing fine, trying to derail my one track mind...

Driving through southwestern towns
That I had been in before
Sun split ember, and fields that span
Forever, forever
Forever
And when I first saw you
The sky, it was such a natural blue...
Sharon Van Etten - "Let Go" Brother's smile
Taking on its own
Identity
Only to then leave it behind
Foreign light in the afternoon
Held by what-be-nots
Stay until remembered
Here I'm standing
Ripped apart by albatross
Hanging...
