Lyrics
The beat of a wing over water when mirrors
Gather up droplets of rain like a beaded
Necklace I once owned but long have forgotten
And what am I to myself that must now remain?
The snap of the bracken echoes through the pine trees
The child in me steps over deadly flowers and night fires
I wish to float down streams like the leaf boats I made once
And what am I to myself that must now remain?
But here I am now where the winds all
Tangle around me like cloth every fibre
Is a strand of self we're stitching across it
And what am I to myself that must now remain?
We landed like doves along a solid wall but
Quickly flew off and no reflection could be captured
To a forest of dirty mirrors and covered-over lenses
And what am I to myself that must now remain?
