11plustwo lyrics
Copper dust on a linen sleeve Giving the ghost a reason to leave Salt in the well and a hollowed-out tree I'm looking for the version of you that is free Strip the paint from the canyon wall Watching the pillars of the temple fall There's a stain on the violence of the midday sun And I'm not finished until the work is done Thirst Heat Aching Waking up the stone Finding where the water's gone Oh, dye it in Raw Sienna Heavy as a mountain with a gold antenna Singing like a choir in a full arena Yeah, we're burning in the wide-open Oh, dye it in Raw Sienna More than a feeling or a cold phenomena Write it in the dust like a new insignia For the way the truth is spoken Sienna Buried the crown in a shallow grave Nothing to lose and nothing to save Red clay caking on a designer shoe I'm trading the many for the only two It's a long-form story in a short-form world Watching the banner of the sky get unfurled No more talking, let the horizon speak For the strong, the weary, and the beautifully weak Thirst Heat Aching Waking up the stone Finding where the water's gone Oh, dye it in Raw Sienna Heavy as a mountain with a gold antenna Singing like a choir in a full arena Yeah, we're burning in the wide-open Oh, dye it in Raw Sienna More than a feeling or a cold phenomena Write it in the dust like a new insignia For the way the truth is spoken The wind is a blade The sun is a weight The heart is a city with a broken gate Pour the oil Till the soil Breaking the seal Oh, dye it in Raw Sienna Heavy as a mountain with a gold antenna Singing like a choir in a full arena Yeah, we're burning in the wide-open Oh, dye it in Raw Sienna More than a feeling or a cold phenomena Write it in the dust like a new insignia For the way the truth is spoken Raw Sienna In the marrow Straight and narrow Stay dry
