lyrics

Cavebirds

Beneath the rock a glowworm seams
Of porcelain tiles or faucets gleam
What once was function's taken form
An ancient growth
A crevasse yawn
I beat my fist against the stone
Stalactites chime like hammer on bone
Ancestral chorus of skin on skin
The ringing dulls
The dulling rings.

The calcite is misleading
These walls were made from lovers
Secreting
I place my tongue against the salt
Rivers run around my feet like moats.

I carve my sigil in the wall
I place my crystals in the bowl
The walls weep with lovers sweat
Ancestral rivers of joy and regret
And as that liquid meets the day
A mist whispers
Rises to say,

Your sighs, your sighs
Are like cavebirds
Flown into the light
Your cries, your cries
A chorus of horns
Thrown into the dawn.

Echoes shatter off the water like wings
The ringing dulls
The dulling rings
I beat my fist against the stone
Stalactites chime like hammer on bone
Your sighs, your sighs
Are like cavebirds
Flown into the light.
