And I awake bloody
Rushing blood from river’s stones
My hands grasp to the unwary
Tired flesh for desperate bones
Painted flesh is in my dreams
Haunted by dark lace and leather
Pale white shines through mist of souls
Through this grip, I feel untethered
Fly from time wasted in cold
And I miss our dreams of water
And our hope for depths below
These dreams live on in silence
I will let this black tree grow
Painted flesh is in my dreams
