I was burning through a life on fire
And when you breath you feed the flame
Only ashes will remain
On a park bench in a city
Sat a faceless winter coat
Told me blood is water
You'll deny me later

Hanging chinese lantern riddles from your trees
When you have no answers
Careful that you dont wake up
Keep dreaming of me
Knowing you'll never understand
On rye beside of the river lights
In fields of barley dried
And pour a world of drinks for the sky
In the ivory heat of morning
Through the mercy of the Sun
You were searching for me

Worship stone on hillsides
Saw the shape in the clothesline that could not be wind
There is something watching
And i heard them whisper
Curse their words upon me
As it left or chose to stay
As a child i saw the glory of every tower raised in stone
Built for soul and not for gold
To conceal the dark from sunlight

You can never build too high
And i never solved it
It was lost in the ether
And i know you've seen my candle in the night
I will come to call you
And ill cull if the the blood helps
If and when you escape and try to run from me
