Lioness Lyrics & Tabs by The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die
Lioness
guitar chords lyrics
When I was with you we were an estuary/
i don't know if i come from the river or the sea/
all i know is you are both my opposite and my reflection/
and where we meet, all salt and mouth and convergence. we were the meeting point of a mountain and a valley/
from a distance it is clear that we are inverted forms of one another/should our mountain crumble it would fill the valley to our brim/
creating flatland where there was once chaos/
but until that beautiful collapse we wonder where you begin and i end. we were two bodies/
running out of room in this world/
we carved space in ourselves for the other to borrow. for the other to burrow/
i wake up sometimes with ghost traces of your lips on my bone/
and my arms holding your phantom frame as you drift away. we were roots and soil/the splendor of a tide pool/
we were giants. but for now we can't swallow the things that separate us. lioness please grab me again by the scruff of my neck/
and lick the wounds i've made trying to taste my own blood.
and lick the wounds i've made trying to taste my own blood.
