lyrics

Lioness
We are shaped by your slumber
Etched in a past of knowing
Of knowing who you were

So faintly tangible in memory
Beyond the anecdotal history
Her…
Her cells reside inside this body
At least as long as I look up
At the lioness
Oooooo
At the lioness

Lioness
In your absence we are primed for loss
Three years of timelessness
Of knowing who you were

No longer moisturised by novelty
I’m finding sentience in lily trees
Her…
Translucent palms will always carry me

The very fabric of the earth
Woven from a star that never leaves
Suspended into view on remembering
To put out the light

And look up
And look up
And look up
And look up
And look up
At the lioness
Aaaaaaah
At the lioness
Aaaaaaah
At the lioness
Oooooooo

Oooooooo
Ooooooooooo
