My love my little ghost
My heart my sinking boat
We’ve built our bridge in the middle of nowhere
So let’s burn it down
And get to the ground

I know that words are slow sometimes
I know the weight of the things on your mind
So I fall quiet admiring the timber
burning fast
rising higher and higher

And no one found the smoke as lovely as we did
All they could see was a fatal fire
We watched the night slip just like we did
We’d coax the warmth back into our bones

My dark my heavy hand
my light my fearful plan
When all this goes will we still remember
How to burn
How to fight

I know this home is cold sometimes
But it’s a home that is yours and it’s mine
So I fall quiet admiring the embers
growing cold
flames getting tired so tired

And no one found the smoke as lovely as we did
All they could see was a failed fire
We watched the night
Slip just like we did
We’d coax the warmth back into our bones
