[Verse 1] You kneel one breath too close I act like I don’t know My teeth stay pressed together My hunger learning slow There’s a prayer behind my tongue That never makes the sound I taste it fall to pieces Before it leaves my mouth [Pre-Chorus] If I move, it changes everything If I feed, it might become real So I keep it folded up Like a hymn I never seal [Chorus] Lamb and lion, flesh and holy glow I keep that circle slow Lamb and lion, pulse and haloed glow Like I’m one breath from you Lamb and lion, ache and honeyed glow My silence lets it grow Lamb and lion, tooth and mercy glow And you’ll never know [Verse 2] You laugh and close your eyes I lose my place again The room goes soft around us Like a chapel made of skin I could say your name as grace I could strip this altar bare But I just let you pass me by And keep my wanting there [Pre-Chorus] If I move, it changes everything If I feed, it might become real So I keep it folded up Like a hymn I never seal [Chorus] Lamb and lion, flesh and holy glow I keep that circle slow Lamb and lion, pulse and haloed glow Like I’m one breath from you Lamb and lion, ache and honeyed glow My silence lets it grow Lamb and lion, tooth and mercy glow And you’ll never know [Bridge] Maybe I’m not afraid of you Maybe I’m afraid of what you’d say If you saw the blessed hunger Standing right here in the way So I stay where the almost lives In the space between consume and true [Final Chorus] Lamb and lion, flesh and holy glow I keep that circle slow Lamb and lion, pulse and haloed glow Like I’m one breath from you Lamb and lion, ache and honeyed glow My silence lets it grow Lamb and lion, tooth and mercy glow And you’ll never know
