Erosion lyrics

I buried my youth in quartz A fossil of every voice I lost The river spits back my name Syllables worn, no two the same Time is a tongue of slow ice Licking mountains into sacrifice I'm the cliff refusing to fall A prayer etched in terminal crawl Your breath, a fault line’s sigh Cracks maps where our cities lie We build on sediment and throes Cathedrals of almosts no one knows Time is a tongue of slow ice Licking mountains into sacrifice I'm the cliff refusing to fall A prayer etched in terminal crawl The compass drowns in its own north We plant tomorrows, reap unborn worth The wind steals the almanac’s page History’s a rumor we disengage Time is a tongue of slow ice Licking mountains into sacrifice I'm the cliff refusing to fall A prayer etched in terminal crawl
