Death Comesto Matteson - Anchors Me Down lyrics

A love affair between the earth and sky

black and blue and moving

light years of space contain our meager lives

governed in their turning

baptism by fire

celestial fatal flaw

machine of desire

melts and then dissolves

no broken wing

can keep you from flying away

the earth pulls me down

your shooting star falls quickly to the ground

my broken heart anchors me down

i search for you

somewhere in this placid bruise

the woman in the moon

golden, these stolen

glances start to burn

new constellations of you

suffocate in this heat

this hopeless infancy

again you come crying

run away from me

orion, throw down your sword

i've no more waxen wings

just like the sun

she sides with gravity
