lyrics

Grieve for the living while they still have hands
To caress as you express the sort of poetic strands
That for some reason, we don't weave until nobody understands
Why they're gone so soon, we had so many plans
And demand they listen now before the listener's gone
Because we wait until they leave us; how'd we get it so wrong
And all the letters that we wrote, we never pass along
Til the casket's last clasp is buckled down and locked

Make me a promise: when I go, you won't lock this body up in a casket
Let me grow from the ground so later you can fly around and sing your song in my branches
Make me a promise: when I go, you won't lock this body up in a casket
Let me grow from the ground so later you can fly around and sing your song in my branches

When I press my fingertips into my eyelids hard
You are the shapes that dance around like living works of art
When the darkness of the night is all I have in my heart
You are the constellations saying "keep your eyes on the stars"
But if you leave before I leave, don't let it trouble you much
'Cause I believe a part of me will go there with you, love
And I know a part of you is there inside of my blood
So my heart will keep on dancing with you, flood after flood

So speak until your words are every breath in my lungs
So every time I try to sing your thoughts are there on my tongue
A harmony so subtle, like we're singing as one
'Til the room begins to shake with us in resonant tones
Our bodies came from stars, so let's return to form
And ignite the way we did before the Earth was born
In the darkness, spark another great electrical storm
Until we leave all the survivors to remember and mourn.
