[00:00.00]Lioness - The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die
[00:19.53]When I was with you we were an estuary
[00:22.69]I don't know if I come from the river or the sea
[00:26.10]All I know is you are both my opposite and my reflection
[00:28.99]And where we meet all salt and mouth and convergence
[00:35.88]We were the meeting point of a mountain and a valley
[00:40.67]From a distance it is clear that we are inverted forms of one another
[00:43.73]Should our mountain crumble it would fill the valley to our brim
[00:47.38]Creating flatland where there was once chaos
[00:49.98]But until that beautiful collapse we wonder where you begin and I end
[00:55.06]We were two bodies
[00:56.69]Running out of room in this world
[00:59.29]We carved space in ourselves for the other to borrow
[01:02.34]For the other to burrow
[01:04.96]I wake up sometimes with ghost traces of your lips on my bone
[01:09.66]And my arms holding your phantom frame as you drift away
[01:13.35]We were roots and soil
[01:15.72]The splendor of a tide pool
[01:18.12]We were giants
[01:20.23]But for now we can't swallow the things that separate us
[01:25.09]Lioness please grab me again by the scruff of my neck
[01:30.27]And lick the wounds I've made trying to taste my own blood
