Wreath Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Burn off every trace
I wanna hover with no shape
I wanna feel the days go by
Not stack up
Running up that hill
I'm gonna call out every name
Until the one I'm meant to take
Sends her dove

[Verse 2]
I see the sun go down
I see the sun come up
I see a light beyond the frame
I see the sun go down
I see the sun come up
I see a wreath upon the grave

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]

I'm moving just beyond the frame
I see the sun go down
I see the sun come up
I see a wreath upon the grave

[Verse 4]
Burn off every trace
I wanna hover with no shape
I wanna feel the days go by
Not stack up
Running up that hill
I'm gonna peel off every weight
Until my body gives away
And shuts up

[Verse 5]
I see the sun go down
I see the sun come up
I'm moving just beyond the frame
I see the sun go down
I see the sun come up
I see a wreath upon the grave
