Breathe

Can't find a way to put it in words

Each time my tongue gets caught up in my teeth

Like it's not for this earth

Like it's something only my spirit could breathe

It just doesn't work

Each time I try to explain what I mean

But I know that you know

When you hear my breath go

When you hear my breath go

Like two newborn leaves

But on the same ancient tree

I know that you know you know me

Don't gotta look out look deep underneath

That's how it seems

Like I'm remembering you like I'm piecing together a dream

The words don't quite show

I know that you know when you hear my breath go

When you hear my breath go

I've been learning the language

Of the gods

From you

So what the hell is this

Mortal mouth of mine

Supposed to do

Yeah it tries to shape

But it can't succeed

I can't build cathedrals

Out of dirt and leaves

I need something more raw

Something from home

Something that starts in my chest

And echoes in your bones till you know

Till I know that you know

And I know that you know

I know that you know

I know that you know

When you hear my breath go

When you hear my breath go

When you hear my breath

You hear my breathe

You my breathe

When you hear my breath go
