december fog (carried away)

written 01/24 - lyrics:
go hand yourself inside the cave with the others
welcome to my collection, Herodotus’ eight wonder
its never my fault you don’t have to say it
it’s all in the timing and you wish things were different
Oh I was born to understand
My blood turns salt into stained glass
So lay your secrets at my feet
and God behold the mercy of me
Cause you got carried away
They say I’m a prophet but I’m the one I can’t trust
I sleep in barrels with the things I can’t touch
You’re out in the water and I’m safe on the shore
Guess we know which one of us has been here before
Oh I was born to understand
My blood turns salt into stained glass
So lay your secrets at my feet
and God behold the mercy of me
Cause you got carried away
You got carried away
You got carried away
Did you get carried away by the way that I sang somebody else’s name?
Did you get caught in the current, and crushed under the burden of your fingers crawling up my ribcage?
Was it far too distracting all the sounds of me lapping up your leaking heartache?
Did that December fog just make a losing dog look like a saving grace?
Guess I might have made the same mistake
Oh I was born to understand
My blood turns salt into stained glass
you were drowning, you needed breath
And what’s a few kisses between friends?
Oh I was born to understand
My blood turns salt into stained glass
So lay your secrets at my feet
and God behold the mercy of me
God behold the mercy of me
God behold the mercy of me
