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
