Blackwater Choir (Make the Dark Behave)

[Verse 1] I saw your name in blue salt On the side of a freight train dream Crystal Aowlan, sharp as a cut In the seam of a midnight screen You wore a fox made of candles And it blinked when you looked at me The world was a drawer full of thunder You were the only thing free [Pre-Chorus] So come closer Let the cold light break Your hands know the map My ribs forgot to keep [Chorus] Crystal Aowlan, stay Make the dark behave Crystal Aowlan, stay We can dance in the break (Stay) Crystal Aowlan, stay [Verse 2] I found your laugh in the alley Where the rain wore a silver bruise The air tasted like old gold And the moon had a cracked-up fuse You moved like a locked door opening Slow, then all at once Every bad little omen I carried Turned to dust in your lungs [Pre-Chorus] So come closer Let the cold light break Your hands know the map My ribs forgot to keep [Chorus] Crystal Aowlan, stay Make the dark behave Crystal Aowlan, stay We can dance in the break (Stay) Crystal Aowlan, stay [Bridge] I don't want the clean ending I want the strange one The one with the blackwater choir And the fox running home If the sky falls sideways Let it fall on us We'll wear the shards like crowns And call it enough [Final Chorus] Crystal Aowlan, stay Make the dark behave Crystal Aowlan, stay We can dance in the break (Stay) Crystal Aowlan, stay
