Songtext von Bloodwood

It started with a crack A splinter in my center Not thunder, but longing And as a rib unfurled A bird landed in my chest And called it a heart I'm not blooming No I am breaking, yeah And it sounds like a song If you're listening close The blood in my veins Was never mine alone Carried sky, carried ash Carried every name I knew The blood in my veins Was never mine alone Carried soil, carried song Carried every root of home Home The leaves I once wore Like crowns, now wilt at my feet I trade green for blood And it stains me beautiful What a curious thing What a lovely spin And then you touched me Soft as moss And I knew Why we choose To be soft Even when it hurts I'm not blooming No I am breaking, yeah And it sounds like a song If you're listening close The blood in my veins Was never mine alone Carried sky, carried ash Carried every name I knew The blood in my veins Was never mine alone Carried soil, carried song Carried every root of home Carried every root of home They call me alive But life comes with hunger Desire feels like fire Licking the bark from my bones I kissed someone And I understood the reason Why trees reach And why they never ever stop I touch my face A foreign name A forest buried in bones I realise It's all the same And feeling is louder Than rain on leaves I'm not blooming No I am breaking, yeah And it sounds like a song If you're listening close The blood in my veins Was never mine alone Carried sky, carried ash Carried every name I knew The blood in my veins Was never mine alone Carried soil, carried song Carried every root of home The blood in my veins Was never mine alone Carried sky, carried ash Carried every name I knew The blood in my veins Was never mine alone Carried soil, carried song Carried every root of home
