Day all the lights went out

Lie warm

In the highest ground

The day

All the light went out

There's kingdom lost

As your favorite song

Plays out on the edge of town

Where four different people drowned

Cicadas come

To offer us their shame

And if I seem distant, love

I apologize

I was not ready for you to see me cry

The light

The light

The light

The light

Such chaos in atrophy

Like a storm cloud of moving bees

And I stop to see

My hand through the trees

Then sing 'til my lungs appear

Been remade through a poisoned year

Your perfume smells

Of lilac and appleseed

Remember how long it took

To find shelter here

Now like the butterflies in the atmosphere

We swarm

We swarm

We swarm

We swarm

We swarm

So may God never slow us down

And may chaos and joy be found

And if you depend on none

Then rely on one

Who is crooked like blurring rain

But static and built for pain

That mountain bends

Towards that coastal crane

And the book I have read

Its name, I forget right now

Taught me a love could start with a simple line

A line

A line

A line

A line
