Laura Veirs - Don't lose yourself lyrics

<b>Don't lose yourself</b> by <i>Laura Veirs</i><br />I felt my vocal chords weakening

I felt my concave thoughts

I felt my voluntary blindness

For staring straight into the sun

The romantic air of your eye patch

Called me across the room

I clung there and I danced with your silent

Admired your divine tattoos

We slept in the shadow of a cedar tree

We made love on the rising tide

We smelled the perfume of the waxing moon

We dreamt of all friendships kind

We touched the blood of the black cat

We pet the mammoth day of tears

In the flickering light we were laughing

"Necessity conquers fear"!

(Refrain, x2)

Don't lose yourself

Don't let yourself be lost

Dreaming we were stares in black stillness

Dreaming of the death of the sun

Waking to a world of white windiness

Painted eyes of the holy ones

The death of the word was upon us

And the discipline of the wind

We see less and less all the time, dear

Just look at this mess we are in

(au Refrain, x2)

Staring at the entrance

I prayed for your wounds to close

Tiger ointment and cosmic collision

And the crucifixion of the rose

Don't lose yourself (x8)

(au Refrain, x4)

Don't lose yourself

Don't let yourself be lost
