A Vow The Witness The Ground

from The Hidden Year Disc Two by Tape Hiss and Sparkle

/

lyrics

you waving as i go
is the last thing my memory serves me but i know
there are easier things to wake up to
plumbago blossoms in my strangest dreams
you still wave even though
i left ten years ago

you were the only one
you were the only one
turn to contact
turn to rescue
a fragmented life

the city called me out
out to the dirty streets
the gutters shy and proud
you were the only one
who they never allowed
into the den of lust and guilt peppered with doubt
spilling on the gravel from the ground

it could not hold you still
it could not hold you still
turn to contact
turn to rescue
a fragmented life
I'm tired of myself
I peel away this weathered mask I hold to
this sense of sin

the city called me out
out to the glass and steel monoliths
i took a vow
i was as a worm to moth
as a needle is pulled through cloth
as the words were born inside my mouth
inside my mouth
spilling on the gravel from the ground

we are the only ones
