Lyrics
Say goodnight, I’m alone
My lungs command my voice
Turning breath into moan
Leaving me no choice
These outbursts of sound
Can’t be tamed
They’re wearing me down
And offer no refrain
It’s my unraveling
It’s perfectly timed
My skin is glistening
With sweat tears and wine
Oh and I’ll be a god today
I’ll be a god today
I’ll silence this cry
I’ll build a dam (silence this cry)
To diffuse the waves
And hold this wall up high
I’ll erase what’s been done
I’ll deny my grief (grief)
No wailing winds
To rile up the sea (sea)
No, no
No oh oh oh wailing winds
(to rile up the seas and shake up their beds)
No oh oh oh wailing winds
(to rile up the seas and shake up their beds)
To rile up seas
And shake up their beds
Oh please, leave me be (leave me be)
Oh, and I’ll be a god today
I’ll be a god today
I’ll silence this cry
I’ll build a dam (silence this cry)
To diffuse the waves
And hold this wall up high
It’s my unraveling
It’s perfectly timed
My skin is glistening
With sweat tears and wine
