I never leave the mirror until I see my father
I walk like the old man, one step slowly then the other
I sit quietly by the window and watch them all move quickly by
There's a song caught between my teeth, I'm sucking on a lullaby
I know what I know, it only comes with time
When your blood begins to feel the Pull of Sunset's tide
When the winter can't stop the bloom and the end is long delayed
I will show you that small room, white sheets, white light
Flowers on the wall, oh my bones
I recall my younger days of ignorance and days of pride
But the mask can grow into the skin until one day you just die
Now I'm invisible, like a blackbirds shadow
My face is yours reflected in you, rippled shallow waters
What we are is more precious when seen through eyes
Fed by blood that feels the pull of sunset's tide
When the winter can't stop the bloom and the end is long delayed
I will show you that small room, white sheets, white light
Flowers on the wall, oh my bones.
