lyrics

In the bitter wind, tethered to oxygen,
Light was the bullet that bloodied your side
I was waiting, a captive audience, with breaths I baited
And scattered across the divide

Things don't really happen, if I don't choose to see them
So ascend and arise with summer stalking my eyes,
I win this time when you step into the light

On the ocean then, cut through with dorsal fins,
Kiss the barcode adhered to your wrist
We were waiting, open lungs around rosaries
All counted before we could sleep

Things don't really happen, if I don't choose to see them
So ascend and arise with summer stalking my eyes,
I win this time when you step into the light

On the white sand, in the Mid-Atlantic,
We fall on film but it's all for you
On the white sand, in the Mid-Atlantic,
We fall and we fail but it's all for you

It's all for you
