lyrics

Got scorched earth on my heels
What the memory burned away
Is a hole that's hungrier than anything ever
And a melody that won’t play
It was silent in the field
When the sun went down that day
You looked at me, Lover, like the wrong end of a shovel
And I knew it was time to pay

Primitive debts.

Rogue planets find the sun
We drift around then away from the one
Who’s mapping circles for others to trail
I’ve got too much gravity, there’s too much fire in me
To follow a path that is already given

Gotta move on, gotta get gone
Out like a light in an electrical storm
Gotta dig in, gotta begin
Into the night, gonna run ‘til I’m home

And that means I got nowhere to run to
Sometimes you burn the bridge because you got to burn something

Got scorched earth on my heels
What the memory burned away
Is a hole you can’t cover without digging another
And a melody baked in clay
It was silent in the field
When the sun came up that day
The ash learned to harden and grow into a garden
And we never again will pay

Primitive debts.
