lyrics

Sylvia

Sylvia, stir your bones
Kick your toes at how you want to vanish
Drained and down
These hateful towns
They stare you down
And call you out to fight them
But you have been hiding

Sylvia, let them know,
Find the mark for every burning arrow
Fill the stands, fate be damned,
Tear the darkness with your shaky hands and

Crawl through the ivy
The cord has been cut and all of life is shining,
Light out from light unbroken

Sylvia, steal the throne
Down below there’s only ugly kindness
Deadly bold, ageless old,
All the world will hold their breath in wait,

Until you crawl through the ivy
The cord has been cut and all of life is shining,
Light out from light unbroken

Come, crawl through the ivy
The cord has been cut and all of life is shining,
Light out from light unbroken

And from a hollow dream, you’ll vanish and awake
The fatal tremors of a dying night will fade
Into the play of colors, elegant and free,
Oh lovely!
