Torches - Half Waif
Composed by:Nandi Rose Plunkett
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 in the night
When I know I need it most
