Fallen Empires

You called my name in the dark Called me back to the start The condensation is building tension A stubborn silence is formed Around our bodies its warm The cool wet grasses as summer passes Frightened under attack Fallen flat on my back Arms and legs I’m too scared to beg You haunt me most when its light The thought of you don’t sit right I need the darkness a death grip embrace Raising cities to dust Faces dripping in lust Fallen empires and raging bush fires All your words confounded Secret lives bound and hid Living backwards in tangled back woods You ruined everything right So good I can’t see the light From my cave I can see the wave Fallen empires and raging bush fires We are the light, we are the light Run to the fire Run to the fire
