Half Waif
Torches
I know somewhere to my left is an undying coast
I think of it in the night, when I know I need it most
I see the way the landscape burns upturned by the violence
Are these torches meant to fill the unending silence?
Are these gods in the fields on a stretch of highway
The bright plain smiling as I'm calling out your name

I do what I want
You won't see me anymore
Your face in my door
Oh I'll turn you away, don't make yourself comfortable, love

You used to say
"When are you comin' back?"
Then came the day
When you no longer asked
I fly through your life like an acrobat
I feed off the night and I'm afraid of that

I know somewhere to my left is an undying coast
I think of it at night, when I know I need it most
