lyrics

BROKEN SPELL You came to talk of Jesus. You came to talk of war. You came to talk of music no one plays no more. This was underwater. This was overdue. You tried to float a story just to drown the truth. Will words stay colorfast in a flood of light as laughter splits the dawn and abdicating emperors keep hanging on? The sound of failing engines. The sound of cracking boughs. No sadder sounding sound than a broken vow. Will love stay airborne when the pressure drops and storms are forming fast? Calculate the distances that good things last. It’s a broken spell we cast on ourselves. It’s a broken promise. The return of patience. The return of sleep. The return of meaning. We were under deep. Will love land lightly in a hurricane so no one dies alone navigating time and space left to atone? It’s a broken spell we cast on ourselves. It’s a broken promise.
