lyrics

By the magic mountain forest
There's a chorus of birds and laughing waves.
I'd never know that it was midnight
With the blue light neon on the lake.

I hear my bones, my blood, my teeth,
My breath, collide with emptiness.
Bright forms, bright faith, bright-colored
Dreams of death and peace and restlessness.

On the far side of the water
I dreamed my brother was waiting there for me.
He said, "I wish for you this silence,
Behind the eyelids," then melted into the trees.

(Chorus)

My brittle heart is slowly mending,
With every ending I've learned to drink this fear.
Picking shrapnel from my body,
It's a lot to be human, to be here.
