Amaranth

Amaranth

Opening

Through the fog

Slow focusing

I'm holding for a siren warning

Holding for a spotlight searching

Holding for a promise to stay

Holding holding holding

I stay holding for it

I remember pacing blank ground

I remember thorns shredding my palms

I want to see the petals stagger onto me

See my body carried splintering

And I remember scorching it all

Amaranth

Opening

Through the noise

Scarlet beckoning

Following an afterglow to

Following parades of ashes to

Following red embers leading

To flames to flames to flames

To flames to flames when

I remember pacing blank ground

I remember thorns shredding my palms

And I remember scorching it all

I remember scorching it all

I want to see the surface of the water bend

See it cave in diving over me

Bring a steady pour of hours to

Clear the moss from days dissolving and

See the petals stagger onto me

See my body carried splintered and

High, high enough for scattering

Amaranth

Crawling to it

Amaranth

Crawling to it, to it, to it, to it, to it

Amaranth

Crawling to it

Amaranth

Crawling to it, to it, to it, to it, to it
