[Lyric] Foreign Bodies (Tsinder Ash)

Fear flashes violet like night herons wings in moonlight
Doubt is a jewel both heavy and divine
A marble child on a pale blue shore
Hewn by the waves that brought him
I can feel your love glistening
Like a pearlescent stream
And i can feel your compasion flow away from me
And all muscle gives way
To water, to soil, to flame
So i offer prayers to the wind to keep you safe
And they refuse to acknowledge
All the bodies that defy boxes
And they rеfuse to acknowledge

You lеft those foreign bodies
Floating in dark water
You left those foreign bodies
Floating in dark water

To run from grief into the arms of an ocean
We are all refugees of the system that tries to oppose us
How many pennies for how many eyes
Can the ferryman count in how many lives?
And you refuse to acknowledge all your foreign bodies
We a multitude of creatures that know no borders
I’m trying to recall love as an echo
I want to record essence in wax
The waves of memories flutter I struggle to keep them cupped in my hand
I am left with your traces
Glistening, pearlesing down my thighs
I wonder If I clenched harder
Could I have kept you if I tried
You left those foreign bodies
Floating in dark water
You left those foreign bodies
Floating in dark water
