lyrics

I thought about the oxygen I never thought to keep
And the dirt under my fingernails that gathered from the heat
Of sinking my warm hands into a deep bag of soil.

I couldn't stop the sweat, but I could wipe it away with her dress
Again and again to keep her stinging from my eyes...
To keep her beaches filled with bodies.
To keep her cobblestone discrete.

I thought about the wounds suffered during combat,
An endless combat that went on and on
Like leopards in the snow.

I considered the scars that must gather in the wake of the battlefield,
Places that you must choose to inflict the most amount of damage,
With the fewest amount of casualties.

I thought about the weapons and the grudges that she left behind.
I thought about the light.
