Thrice - Silver Wings lyrics

rate me

From tender years you took me for granted

But still I deigned to wander through your lungs

While you were sleeping soundly in your bed

(Your drapes were silver wings, your shutter's flung)

I drew the poison from the summer's sting

And eased the fire out of your fevered skin

I moved in you and stirred your soul to sing

And if you'd let me I would move again

I've danced 'tween sunlit stands of lover's hair

Helped formed the final words before you death

I've pitied you and plied your sails with air

Gave blessing when you rose upon my breath

And after all of this, I am amazed

That I am cursed far more than I am praised.
