Crucible
Lyrics

I’ve been holding on to something that isn’t real

couldn’t be lost, couldn’t be found

i’ve been wondering how long i could bear to feel

stuck in the sound, between the sky and the ground

hovering in suspension

i disappear

everything i’ve come to know

surrendered

and offered to the records 

of remembering

this longing is such a crucible

of wandering among the half dead and half hearted

I don’t have much more to give and truth be told 

i’m not sure that I ever did

but in the spark i saw the art of a memory

making its way down the halls of my darkest dreams

there were portraits on the walls of the lovers i had lost

in the fires of a dawning that couldn’t come soon enough

and maybe i had it wrong, the pictures in my mind

so many shapes and so many faces

every time i chase the song, what do i find

pleasures untasted, moments i wasted

wandering the realms of regret

you disappear

and everything we came to be

to one another’s

been broken by a hunger

and a thundering

this longing is such a crucible

of wandering among the half dead and half hearted

I don’t have much more to give and truth be told 

i’m not sure that I ever did

but in the spark i saw the art of a melody

making its way down the trail of my sweetest dreams

there were poems in the flowers in the shimmering night light was

moving to the muses there was only us and you of course the

picture of an angel who’s soul was on fire with 

the love that id been aching for all the while, all the while

the edges of my heart beat beat beat against the walls 

of a mind that was shattering, shattering, shattering

death don’t you come, i’m having way too much fun

death don’t you come, i’m having way too much fun

death don’t you come don’t you come don’t you dare come death

strike me a bargain 

I'm one of your own kind

oh death so kind of you 

oh death it was so kind of you to come

oh death so kind of you 

oh death it was so kind of you to come
