And This Big World That Will Go On Without Us
Ritual madness feverish fire
It’s the blur of your body dancing
Nimble and drunk on wine
He has the chaos of the hunter
And the fight inside the prey
But it’s me who pulls him under
It’s my hand that feeds his flame
Ember slow and moon sliver light
But we claim this sheer second
Alone and stumbling through the night
Until the fall that keeps us down
Curled up at his side
Bones sing from under the ground
And I smile at this short life
It’s the blur of your body dancing
Nimble and drunk on wine
He has the chaos of the hunter
And the fight inside the prey
But it’s me who pulls him under
It’s my hand that feeds his flame
Ember slow and moon sliver light
But we claim this sheer second
Alone and stumbling through the night
Until the fall that keeps us down
Curled up at his side
Bones sing from under the ground
And I smile at this short life
