Thirst - City and Colour

When I think of

Fates worse than death

All I can think of

Is something you said

You said we were golden

Bright like the sun

And now I am stranded

Knowing I’m not the one

An ocean of anger

Flowing through me

Blood-stained and broken

From what I failed to see

And just like a snake charmer

You led me astray

Living in distress

Hoping help was on the way

In the midst of a storm searching for shelter

I came upon one single feather

A half-hearted wish for something better

Gracefully cursed

I thirst

Attached to the soil

I’m dyed in the wool

There’s iron in my blood

Yet so vulnerable

But after I’m gone

Once I finally leave

You will be left alone

To the wolves and the thieves

In the midst of a storm searching for shelter

I came upon one single feather

A half-hearted wish for something better

Gracefully cursed

I thirst

Gracefully cursed

I thirst

Gracefully cursed

I thirst

I thirst
