Holding Absence - Her Wings Lyrics

A long, long time ago,
When the sun hid behind the moon, I
Saw you like a flair in the cove.
Tucked your name into my lacuna.

I could have just waited to turn cold,
But your love was a dawning inferno;
Blistering to touch.
But still, I couldn't get enough.

'Cause, there's warmth to be found in a fire.
Thaw me on the funeral pyre,
And hang me out to dry
Somewhere that I know she'll find me.

The sound of her wings,
Beating rapid.
Distantly,
I hear her call my name.

I drop everything,
'Cause I'm enchanted.
Desperately, I hear her call to me,
Through it all.

Brutally, I'll probably
Be this way forever.

My life
Was always just a pretty lie,
But she's a bitter truth that I
Can't help but gospelise.
I'd follow her forever.
Take my soul again.

The sound of her wings,
Beating rapid.
Distantly,
I hear her call my name.

I drop everything,
'Cause I'm enchanted.
Distantly, I hear her call to me,
Through it all.

Rip me up into your grasp,
Take me where I can't come back;
Roll the credits, fade to black.
"Her wings."
