The Howl & The Hum
Portrait I
Gold, gold, she looked like she was golden
Think she would have blinded me if she got any closer
But as I leaned in, she grew wings
Felt like I was falling first, she rose then
Gone, gone, quickly as the dawn
I was never knowing if she'd ever come home
So with all my might, changed my mind
But an angel leaves an imprint on your broken bones
Girl, girl, from out of this world
Slow like thunder, rare like pearls
When morning came, the darkness stayed
Now all I want to do is shake the shame
Shake the shame (3x)
And when she's falling
Do you really think I'll waste my time
Her name I am calling
Do you really think I've lost my mind
A study of a girl with wings
Daylight, it never felt right
To live inside a bunker for the rest of my life
The mold, the rot that you forgot
Is a figure floating has a broken mirror for a mind
Gold, gold, fades as you get older
Walk like I am wounded though I know I am a solider
You had a son, you both moved on
But you know you cast a shadow off the lawn
Off the lawn (3x)
And when she's falling
Do you really think I'll waste my time
Her name I am calling
Do you really think I've lost my mind
It's been killing me all this time
That we should ever have to sever
Feel like I've wasted all my life
Cause I could never grow feathers
A study of a girl with wings (2x)
Oh, it's been killing me all this time
That we should ever have to sever
Feel like I've wasted all my life
Cause I could never grow feathers, no
For you
