lyrics

I know there's a part of me that's beholden to the flames
Granting me the amity of a field of frozen names
Don't remember night being so bright, our windows must have changed
All the candlelight creatures can finally wander in the day

And I can give you something that you'll never throw away
Strength to reach the mesa where the panaceas lay
Droplets made of starlings when your darling turns to gray
On that heart returning, I've got something to engrave

Underneath the farthest tree lies your music box's grave
A windowless eternity of familiar serenades
We can spend the night back there, in black and hopeless reverie
Dancing through the night, radar so bright we don't forget a thing

I can give you treasures that you'll never throw away
Keys to all the coffins of the ones you couldn't save
Wish I wasn't nothing, just the smiling of the flames
So we'd all be together, all connected, in this place
