the amazing devil - blossoms lyrics

[verse 1: joey batey]
the weight of my phone
like a tablet of stone
seems to grow the words i just read
and it silently falls
from my hand to the floor
with the wonders i wished i had said

[verse 2: joey batey]
and for a time there is timelessness
endless galore
to the dark i said pour and forgot to say when
and the words that you wrote
come back blacker than smoke
i’m so sorry, i’ve done it again

[verse 3: joey batey]
so i gather up the candlelight
jangle the chimes
and mop up what is left of my lungs
and i climb up the ladder
had i taken more care
i might havе seen all the rot in the rugs

[verse 4: joey batey]
and i pack what is needed
for thе journey to come
all my books, all my bracken and booze
and the door shuts behind me
i breathe in the air
and say yeah, well i’m sorry too
[pre+chorus: joey batey]
and i stare at the soldiers before me
all my blossoms that have waited to fall
and i walk
and i walk
and i walk
and i walk
knowing every last one of them is painted in light
as i make myself acquainted with the saint of never getting it right

[chorus: joey batey & madeleine hyland]
my dress is on fire
and i hurl myself, i heal myself
i drag myself like a rug in the rain
and my saint she is dancing
as every step i choose to take
begins to set the world aflame

and the soldiers march behind me
i can hear them beat their spears
and for the first time in all my life
i know i’m more than what i fear

[post+chorus: joey batey & madeleine hyland]
and i stare
at the soldiers before me
all my blossoms that have waited to rise
and i walk (i will walk)
and i walk (i will walk)
and i walk (with you)
and i walk
and i walk (i will walk)
and i walk (i will walk)
and i walk (with you)
and i walk

and i run (love run)
and i run (love run)
and i scream out to the sky
(love run, love run)
you do not get to hurt me just because i asked you once
if you were alright

[outro: joey batey]
and i look at the phone
on the floor and i drink
that nice wine you were saving, it’s saving me now love
and my soldiers sit by
like i’m newly baptised
in the blossoms that fell from above
and i pick up the phone
dial your number and wait
and shine like my petals once shone
and just as it’s ringing
i whisper aloud
to my saint
oh we, we’re gonna get on
