lyrics

Fading stars
Pull up the sun
And morning dew
Becomes the clouds
Silent fields
Of sunflowers

I see waves
Pull you under

Use my hands
To push you down

Let the tide
Purge your crimes

Put yours
Onto mine

Wash off
My guilt

With fine
Perfumed words

Wash off
My guilt

Put yours
Onto mine

Wash off
My guilt

Honor this
Wine-dark sea

Filter this
Paradox
All the birds
Have all agreed
Done the math,
Proved my case

Cold blue waves
Pull you under
With these hands
I pushed you down
Let the tide
Hide my crimes

Strong and swift
Will clean this
Act of mine
Of all wrong
I’m absolved
With these words
Create this
Wine-dark sea

You’re free
Breathe
The waves
Release
Find new shores
