lyrics
I'm bending with the weight of the nest you built
when I extended my arm to call you home
I made myself the body and the wood it lies on
wouldn’t drink from your palm when you offered
but this is my blood and the place where I'm welcome
I’ve taken the beam from my back and built shelter
their nails ripped our clothes
so we took their flags and burned them
our bodies hold fevers as flames in tangled fingers
married to destruction, kindling something greater
burn the illness, survive the winter
hold my head and feel for where it’s warm
let it make your calloused hands soft
I'll give my body as a furnace for the ones I love
set fire to myself when blankets can’t disperse the dark
make a bed of ash and sleep when I’ve done enough
when I’m gone send me to the sea
this raft is more open than the coffin they promised me
where smoke meets the air I’ll go gently
where my body meets the ground I’ll find peace
if I find you will you cut the rope tied to shore
and woven through my rotting bones
your hands are rough as you walk home
trust the ones who let you go
slow
