lyrics

Without hope
We’d be feather-boned
Weightless, blown
Out of this world

Without flaws
I wouldn’t fall in love
It’s your jagged edge
I am hanging from

By a spider’s thread
These arms are bound
Under a sunrise stretched
Over a bloodless ground

Hope is heavy
Out of this world
A scalding kiss
Night’s endless return

Sparrows fall
At the speed of sound
Eyes and fingers
Drift to the ground

If it’s what you want
To make my heart pound
Lay your body down
On this shivering ground

Hope is heavy
Out of this world
A scalding kiss
Night’s endless return
