Pelican

Once again that moment
When you lifted me out of the water
And held up my spine
As though stretching it into a staircase
To the sun
Or something doing your best
To gather me gather me gather me
These things spill out of my mind

You are filling my tears
You are filling my tears
You are filling my tears
You are tearing minds
You are spilling my fears
You are clouding my eyes
You are quelling a flame

Once again that moment
When you lifted me out of the water
And held up my spine
As though stretching it into a staircase
To the sun
Or something, doing your best
To gather me gather me gather me
These things spill out of my mind

I chose fight over flight
And as i found
I found soaring, searing through me
Breaking my fears my fear
But my bones
I crushed
I ashed
I swept the sky clean
I wept the sky into all scenes

You are filling my tears
You are filling my tears
You are filling my tears
You are tearing minds
You are spilling my fears
You are clouding my eyes
You are quelling a flame
You are filling my tears
