lyrics

stoke fires with your father bones at night
keep it down & riled when turmoil’s fresh inside
keep close tired arms from morning flight
holding someone’s head down
baptized in the wishing well
quench deep thirst swallowing spare change

miracles are manmade
poorly laid plans are often the blame
rotten hope is raised and tended with an unsteady hand
clasping clamoring uncertainty and when I ask the wind my name it replies in a whisper
then goes hush

and the world is solid and hollow
and old crow moans
til the bottom strung lungs become blood
and exhale is thick mist
our fingers are numb but still searching for a pulse
