Drop the Halo

from Warning Bells by kettleflower

/

lyrics

chained to earth
we yell and wince with purpose
blank the color, toe in the grave
thread the needle
love and fear the promise
overcompensate and stow it away

rob the moonlight
still the hissing waters
thirsty canvas yellowed in light
fight and falter
the truth behind the wailing
standing stuttering, relentless in pride

drop the halo, listen for a moment
feel the gentle truth in a sigh

cool the wonder
cringe with education
overcome with social displays
spike the jelly
compromise the weather
brace the knees succumb to the wave

drop the halo, listen for a moment
drop the halo, listen for a moment
feel the gentle truth in a sigh...

it's okay if you want it (let the flames climb high)
it's alright if you need it (you'll be safe in time)
