lyrics

jagged rocks and shivering heights
black expanse and longest night
colored lights and falling snow
asleep on my shoulder in the exit row
i think
someone else is speaking through me
someone else is speaking through me
your hands are cracked from the all-night kiln
your body moves but your head is still
your smile infiltrates my lungs and
scrapes off all the tar and
i am restored
but i think
someone else is speaking through me
someone else is speaking through me
someone else is speaking through me
the warmth of a big house full of friends
the day the will to greet the day comes back again
sudden clarity after not knowing what to say
knowing that you shouldn't but you go ahead and do it anyway
your hands as they build ancient cities under the waves
your hands as they build ancient cities under the waves
someone else is speaking through me
