Lyrics

You are a failure miracle
Brand new, again
A rising sun
Exactly everything you need
And enough
Writing out your morning song
You are the answer inside of a long exhale
A lighthouse rib cage
A future up for grabs
And the brights are on
There is a point inside of you
A light, a start, a shy, quick, quiet, deer heart
A lighting storm
One Machine for rain
And the other for change
Buried in your covers, in color
A new day tapping at your eyelids
My shy, quick, quiet, deer hearts
You are a failure-miracle
Tangled in truth
Folded around with love
Plugged back into yourself
Waking up to your island
You are a self governed machine
A harpoon, launching
A bell rung against the collective order
An entire world rising
Brand new, again
You failure-miracle
Still, and silent
Stretched to your horizons
Up at dawn
Waving your existence
A pride swallowing siege
A hug, instead of a hammer
A spark, inside of a room
On top of all this dirt
Dressed in your first day of school, innocence
Shy, quick, quiet
Suited in universe
The divine
Tied to the present
Making it through the night
A metaphor for infinity
A waking celebration, bathed in light
Waking up to your island
You failure-miracles
Brand new, again
Remembering
And forgetting
And remembering
Quilted together
Burning the past for change
Into this moment
And this one
And the next one
And the next one
And this one right here
The most important moment of your life
Are all the ones you are inside of
Brand new, again
