❛❛ YOU ARE A CALL TO MOTION ❜❜ : @WREATHED , HOZIER LYRIC STARTERS
( how i have ached , a pillar / a proof of concept / a prayer come to life , how i have waited for a thousand years to see the shine of your face under this mid - day sun ) THE GLOW IS VOLATILE the glean of the sun against the water , the soft way your hands fold into mine , the promise i will make to you with tears in my eyes [ the promise my mother & father made , a promise as wistful as air ---- as solid as steel , a promise that takes life & gives it just as swiftly ] the shore calls to me , the fire that has made a home in my bones / the cathedral of light that comes to life in my ribs ---- my heart laid across the pulpit , as still as death , with gold pouring from my parted lips ( you see how this world demands of me , how saints have etched my name on the soles of their feet , how the bird that carries my soul calls out every morning ---- how i must rise to catch it , how i will always be that bird , flying away / asking you to love me anyways ) HOW FLEETING ARE WE , A MOMENT IN TIME IMMORTALIZED BY THE DUSK OF A PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE THEIR GODS HIDE IN THE RIVER step in , step in , feel the way it soothes & steels you / let the waters crawl up your body and wrap around you the way a mother swaddles her child
SILK WRAPPED AROUND CHROMIUM SHINE / WE EXIST IN THE HARSHNESS OF THAT WORLD & THE NEXT i have stolen you , you see ---- i have carried you through these haunted woods , i have blinded you with the promises of something more / i have fed you my love in ambrosia and rose petals , i have covered your eyes with the hem of my dress & asked you to believe the stories that fill me like wineskin ( i have promised you so many things , i have filled you with make - believe that nurtured me as a babe , i have told you how i walked through the fire & swallowed the world whole , i have told you how the waters live in me , how i will be reborn , how i will find you again ) have you believed them all ? these fantastical things that i use to split you open just so i may make a home of the space in your heart ? will you be betrayed , my love ? WILL YOU REALIZE THAT THEY ARE A TRUTH AS REAL AS I AM , WILL YOU REALIZE THAT I AM NOTHING MORE THAN A GHOST IN THE WATER LIKE MY ANCESTORS BEFORE ME ?

the canopy of trees sways , softly . the bird calls / and suddenly i am gone again
