[Verse 1]
Ash in my teeth
Sand in my mouth
I’ve been walking this wound
Head full of drought
Old stone staring
Buzz in the air
Name in the thunder
Calling me there
[Pre-Chorus]
Heat shakes the distance
Something starts to glow
Voice in the silence
Saying what I know
[Chorus]
I am burning
I am
I am
In the whirlwind
In the palm of a hand
I am burning
I am
I am
Every thorn
Every tongue
Every spark in the sand
[Verse 2]
Smoke writes circles
Over my head
Boot prints blister
Where the wild dogs fed
I drink that fire
Like it’s pouring rain
It carves its letters
Right into my veins
[Pre-Chorus]
Breath turns to cinders
Eyes turn to gold
Name in the desert
Older than old
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Face in the flame
Laughing through fear (oh no)
Says
“Take off your shame
It’s holy right here”
I fall to my knees
But I do not break
The ground starts singing
Everything I’ll stake
[Chorus]
