lyrics

Tiptoe the pavement
We're coiled and impatient to implode
Quieting our black hole souls

The hairs on our arms
Catch the air with a crackle and a spark
When the shop fronts stare at dying stars

And our ashes lose the taste of fire
And we finally know what we were
As we see what we are

I'll inhale all the dust from your veins
I'll gorge on shrapnel
And we'll blast inwards from charred fingertips
Towards our beating

Once beating hearts

Tiptoe the tower
We're what-if manifests tonight
We're the darkness it takes to see the light

We sprint and we scramble we're ash on the air as it rises
We're freckling clouds on the horizon
We look almost intact on the horizon
You can say it's not real from the horizon

You can say till it catches you hiding
Till the day it needs you and it finds you
Till it wakes you and it wants you
Until

You've inhaled all the dust from their veins
And gorged on shrapnel
And we've caved inwards from charred fingertips
Towards our beating

If I can't mend all the cracks in the glass
They'll rip right through us
If I don't swallow the fire as it spills
I will burn
I will burn too

“A diverse, deep-vein double album which vaults her into contention as one of the most insightful and pertinent songsmiths, anywhere, to have emerged in recent years.”
