[Verse 1] Ivy on the rooftop bricks Cool stone under our knees You lean back White wings folded Like alabaster leaves Your halo slips You let it Rest crooked in your hair I trace the place your feathers Meet skin I shouldn’t dare [Chorus] Moon on the ivy Silver on your throat My dark hands shaking On your borrowed robe Heaven and the fault line Breathing in the proof Two fallen blessings Learning how to move In sacred tenderness On an ivy-covered roof [Verse 2] You laugh at how my black wings Keep snagging on the vine You say the thorns know demons They recognize their kind Your fingers on my jawline Slow Like ancient prayer You kiss the scar I’m hiding Like it’s incense in the air [Chorus] Moon on the ivy Silver on your throat My dark hands shaking On your borrowed robe Heaven and the fault line Breathing in the proof Two fallen blessings Learning how to move In sacred tenderness On an ivy-covered roof [Bridge] Your mouth says “this is holy” Your pulse says “take your time” White feathers brushing soot stains My gasp caught in your spine If grace was ever fragile It’s trembling in our teeth Angel over angel Over almost-hell like me (oh) [Chorus] Moon on the ivy Silver on your throat My dark hands steady On your open heart’s bloom slow Heaven and the fault line Woven into truth Two opposite halos Burning into one bruise In sacred tenderness On an ivy-covered roof
