Lioness - The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die[00:00:00]
When I was with you we were an estuary[00:00:19]
I don't know if I come from the river or the sea[00:00:22]
All I know is you are both my opposite and my reflection[00:00:26]
And where we meet all salt and mouth and convergence[00:00:28]
We were the meeting point of a mountain and a valley[00:00:35]
From a distance it is clear that we are inverted forms of one another[00:00:40]
Should our mountain crumble it would fill the valley to our brim[00:00:43]
Creating flatland where there was once chaos[00:00:47]
But until that beautiful collapse we wonder where you begin and I end[00:00:49]
We were two bodies[00:00:55]
Running out of room in this world[00:00:56]
We carved space in ourselves for the other to borrow[00:00:59]
For the other to burrow[00:01:02]
I wake up sometimes with ghost traces of your lips on my bone[00:01:04]
And my arms holding your phantom frame as you drift away[00:01:09]
We were roots and soil[00:01:13]
The splendor of a tide pool[00:01:15]
We were giants[00:01:18]
But for now we can't swallow the things that separate us[00:01:20]
Lioness please grab me again by the scruff of my neck[00:01:25]
And lick the wounds I've made trying to taste my own blood[00:01:30]
