thatcherblackwood – laurel Lyrics

Do you remember me?

Hold it close to you
Broken, bowed anew
I thought this was life
Watch the thread unwind

We were in Zion that summer
I was still trying to breathe
Watch it corrode the isomers
Everything I couldn't keep
All the nights that we spent being young
The copper rocks under our feet
The pastures never felt so wrong
Up in flames, your favorite evergreen

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Pull the needle through
Laces lorn the center
Hmm, hmm, hmm

I promise I wasn't crying
There was just smoke in my eyes
Holding you until the morning
I'd fall in and out of the fire
Wreathed in hollow ivory
Christened collows, bedaubing

And I saw your body covered in roses
And I started screaming, nobody noticed
The locket you gave me, thread intertwined
Tearing taut at the seams when it started unwinding
I fell out the trunk of your dad's four-wheel drive
And we laughed it off when we called it a night
Through the laurels and brush weeds, we walked side by side
God, you were so pretty, even when we were crying
'Cause the rust started falling, I ran out of time
Watch the world invert into infrared light
Lying lithe on the duff, dying embers dissolving
The smoke in my lungs couldn't stop me from calling your name
But I

Ooh, oh-oh-oh
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And I saw your body covered in roses
And I started screaming, nobody noticed
The locket you gave me, thread intertwined
Tearing taut at the seams when it started unwinding
I fell out the trunk of your dad's four-wheel drive
And we laughed it off when we called it a night
Through the laurels and brush weeds, we walked side by side
God, you were so pretty, even when we were crying
'Cause the rust started falling, I ran out of time
Watch the world invert into infrared light
Lying lithe on the duff, dying embers dissolving
The smoke in my lungs couldn't stop me from calling your name
But I
