A Prayer for Carpenters and Insects Lyrics


In my veins, I die adrift inebriate of steel and impulse

Cells and sublime confidence or rain and darkened stormdrains

Pieces of shadows and sunny days

I watch myself flickering

Wreck yourself on the stars and surrender

Struggling to gather the colors and sounds from the back of my mind

Twilight is ending a haze of dissonant silence

Along the pavement drags the corpse of a guardian angel

the same streets where we walked

Summerlands and eternal night

For only the forsaken will return and only the empty will wait
