lyrics

youth curls in the corner/and turns my heart like a lathe/but i am old far from grown/yet the grain of my life still fades/and i can hear the vultures singing/a river like a dark parade/born to the world from feather and stone/i take my youth to grave/like pierced dove/turn my wounds to flight/white as aspens grow/with chalk you draw our lives/so slow/calls from birds in the black/calls from birds in the darkness and the hover/it's a carcinogenic feeling/a bite in all of our throats/now i've cut my hair and torn my cloak/uttered words never meant to be spoke/and i've cleared my chest of demons/but now they're cavities in my teeth/and i'm never alone as they gnash and they grown/as i tighten where the blood still leaks/yes i tighten where the blood still leaks/look your face upon/hold your lantern long/howl of holy chorus/sing me to my home/of stone/stone
