Christians & Lions - Palekh Lyrics

I was born a breeze, and you, a breath
'Let us stay vapor,' we'd plead
Till someone see'd us to this tense
We awoke as newborns

Each a writhing ball of light
We were instruments of vision
Beyond certain frequencies
Despite all the vibrations

But I shake and age just to exist
To renew what peace we had forfeit

So we all shapeshift or go apeshit soon enough
I'm proof- POOF- I'm breeze, you're breath
Stumbling towards birth, flowers bloom in reverse

Big, twilight sleep in the dirt
Like meeting the meet I'll meet
As I leave my body on this earth

We were colonists-by-proxy
All the sidewalks were enemies
And the noon sun beat us like a ghost
Burnin in a bad dream
But I tossed some prophecy on those streets

You were there
With flowers in your hair
And your pupils grew
Like you were lucid or in love

And when the wine took my legs
Your touch took my breath
For it was wasted on anything
I'd said or done before or since
And if you didn't, now you'll see
That I was you and you were me
