lyrics

Can you feel the season of Demeter
Grieving for her daughter
Losses carried through the winter snow
I’m gearing up to be alone

I wanna know how you’re doing
Let me back in
I wanna know how you’re feeling
Ease this suffering
I’ve been trying to get clean
But I’m craving company
Need me or get away
A moth longing for a hot flame

Swimming through the frozen water
Taunted by a fire far away
A siren choir singing
Drop the stone
I know this bird has flown

I wanna know how you’re doing
Let me back in
I wanna know how you’re feeling
Ease this suffering
I’ve been trying to get clean
But I’m craving company
Need me or get away
A moth longing for a hot…

Memories are pretty mermaids
Tender ‘til the morning light fades
Memories are pretty mermaids
Tender ‘til the morning light changes

I held you close to my heart
Look at me when you pour my tea
I held you close to my heart
Look at me, look at me
I held you close to my heart
Look at me when you pour my tea
I held you close to my heart
Look at me, look at me

I wanna know how you’re doing
Let me back in
I wanna know how you’re feeling
Ease this suffering
I’ve been trying to get clean
But I’m craving company
Need me or get away
A moth brandishing a hot flame
