WILDFIRES
I was born beneath the moon,
was broken, out of tune;
In the middle of the night,
I was not made for the light
My heart was always breaking,
always mistaking sparks for wildfires...
I’d wake each morning, shaking,
thinking I heard your voice in the lyrebird’s choir
I did not possess
your exquisite instrument;
All the words sit in my teeth
and become bitter and weak
My heart was always breaking,
always mistaking sparks for wildfires...
I’d wake each morning, shaking,
thinking I heard your voice in the lyrebird’s choir
You said that waking up,
oh, had made you come undone;
That my heart lives in the past,
and oh, these orange moons don’t last
My heart was always breaking,
always mistaking sparks for wildfires...
I’d wake each morning, shaking,
thinking I heard your voice in the lyrebird’s choir
