Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The copper pipe begins to weep While all the heavy sailors sleep I watch the mercury slowly creep The secrets that the oceans keep My lighthouse is a lonely steep Where jagged memories always leap [Pre-Chorus] I hum a low and jagged note A splinter in my tired throat The water starts to glow and float Beyond the shadow of my boat A bioluminescent coat Wrapped around the words I wrote [Chorus] Neon blue and burning white Swallowing the lonely night Wings of salt and liquid light Take me in your jagged flight Drown the day and hold me tight Everything will be alright [Interlude] Clicking teeth against the glass Watching all the seasons pass Bones of coral skin of brass Turning over in the mass Wooden hammers strike the floor Echoing from shore to shore [Verse] They mimic every sound I make Across the surface of the lake A rhythmic shivering for my sake The only promise they won't break I feel the tower start to shake From every breath that they take [Hook] Salt in my lungs Songs on our tongues The ladder has no rungs The ladder has no rungs [Bridge] Is it madness? Is it grace? To love a thing without a face In this cold and hollow place Lost within the vasty space Floating in a blue embrace Running at a frantic pace [Chorus] Neon blue and burning white Swallowing the lonely night Wings of salt and liquid light Take me in your jagged flight Drown the day and hold me tight Everything will be alright [Breakdown] The lantern is growing cold Stories that were never told Turning silver into gold Watch the universe unfold I am young and I am old Doing what I am told [Outro]
