[Verse 1]
How wild the wind came in
On the day when i found out
Passage of the one dead star
Its black dust lingering
Seeping through to my lungs
I fall towards the skyline
I drown my sorrows here
In liquids clear

[Refrain]
Time for absolution
How the dead birds sing
They're right atop my roof

[Chorus]
Take my offering
My promise can never be undone
This weight of midnight
Replaced by the shadow of a sun
I hold you in my arms
And it’s farther than you've ever been
Little one

[Verse 2]
Adrift in sacred vertigo
The name is wandering
Our neon epitaph

[Refrain]
Time for absolution
All the dead birds sing
They're right atop my roof

[Bridge]
Shadow of my shadow
Cling not to my grief
I am long left behind now
You are free
Shadow of my shadow
Cling not to my grief
I am long left behind now
You are free
I hold you in my arms
And it’s farther than you've ever been
Little one

[Chorus]
Take my offering
My promise can never be undone
This weight of midnight
Replaced by the shadow of a sun
