lyrics
Come in friend, it’s waiting for you inside
The vast heart of a continent realized
Heat, light, flash inside of…
Soul in me is safer in you, you know
Where fragile things are allowed to grow
Heat, light shot inside of...
Come in, friend
So I can to adore you again
I can’t speak, could never endure the end
Heat, light, flash, soft, and secret
I’ve grown sure that everything comes to sync
To the metronome inside my ribs
Heat, light, flash, inside desire
Hey, will you ever reward this need?
Hey, am I only obliged to be?
Heat, light, flash, inside desire
Hey, is there a mother behind my eyes?
Hey, is my breathing same as the tides?
Heat, light, flash inside desire
Deeply something to me
Are you listening?
Heat, light, flash, inside desire
Are you coming around these days?
Can I give you myself to replace?
Will you ever adore me again?
I’m going up steep, my friend
It’s already here, it’s already here, already
It’s already here, it’s already here, already
Heat, light, flash, inside desire
It’s already here, it’s already here, already
I dreamt myself together
Unfamiliar forevers
Iron goddess of mercy
Then something outside woke me
