lyrics

You would be the darkness. You would be the lion and the lamb. You would be the word that stirs the dust to breath. You would bring your father down.

The wine was our last shot. The wine was our father’s blood. The wine was making us drunk in an alleyway.

And the ground was the garden where I shot soil down your spine. And your breath was lightning, setting dry bones on fire.

We sailed to a new world, where we tore the laws of science down and together made enough smoke to burn out of the belly of a whale. You would bring your father down.

All the stage erupts in light and opens up your naïve eyes that only serve to take my breath away.

Darling, please call me up tonight. We could stay until the morning dies.You would be the darkest thing in sight, once again.
