Lyrics
In the forest lengthen I my shadow into sorrow. Cross I the clearing of sky, fractured but set. / Tilt I my head back to saturate with light, pure blue to the bone. / But from front to back can nothing touch my dark. / Trees flutter, flutter, greatly demented. / And winds loud as water falls drag the downpours of leaves./ And at sun flash, quickly depart I, shut down and mad, twisting bright gold into tourniquets. / Protect from your stabbing words, your stabbing words, your stabbing words!
