[Verse 1]
Old house on the hillside
Key turned only once
Door to the house breathes out
Dust tastes like a promise I sworn
Adorn Four cups on the table
Steam draws symbols in the air
You say “careful what you ask for”
I say “leave the lights on” (oh)
In an idle stare
[Chorus]
Covens cauldron, slow black circle
All our secrets start to stir then blur
Every wish is a little heavier on the wind
The sight of every truth
Begins to blur then fade
Covens cauldron, hold it steady
If we drink, we don’t return
Are we ready, are we ready
To be changed and never learn
[Verse 2]
Names carved in the floorboards
Yours, mine, one I do not know
Wax runs like a river of rapids
Down the spine of a photo
You laugh but your hands shake
Matches flare then disappear
We trade futures for a feeling
That we’ll finally belong right here (right here)
[Chorus]
Covens cauldron, slow black circle
All our secrets start to stir then blur
Every spell is a little heavier on the wind
Every truth begins to blur then fade
Covens cauldron, hold it steady
If we drink, we don’t return
Are we ready, are we ready
To be changed and never learn
[Bridge]
[Vocals split in four, close dissonant harmony, nearly a whisper]
Salt on the tongue
Ash on the breath
whispering best duty, Amen
Say what you want
Under your breath
Who do you love
Who do you fear
What would you give
To disappear
[Chorus]
Covens cauldron, slow black circle
All our secrets start to stir
Every wish a little heavier
Every truth begins to blur
Covens cauldron, we’re already
Halfway gone with every word
Say it softly, say it steady
Let the spell be overheard (oh)
