leaving, through the mirror in the basement
clutching all the white noise you couldn't save
you shed a flood of tears
you carried out your bidding
it's all you've ever hidden
forgiven, forgotten, just yesterday

leaving, the one forever chasing butterflies
to swallow their wings in an innocent green
she was a priest when she was small
but she found the god she wanted
just someone who kept talking
loud enough to drown out the past

high above the rivers
that flow out and away from you
the people you've hurt and the people you've carried
they haven't stopped trying to get through
they're still trying their hardest to reach you

leaving, you breathe upon her fragile face so carefully
the one thing you can do to keep her warm
"when you slipped away to let me sleep,
I had the most amazing dream
I knew I'd be waiting here forever
but you, you were right there with me
and god was who you thought I used to be"

high above the rivers
tracing paths back to the love you never knew
the people who left little permanent traces
they haven't stopped trying to get through
"who ever said we know where we're all headed to?"

over all the burning reels of film
projected on the houses that stand so still
over all the burning reels of film
and all the sleeping secrets that lie there still
