lyrics

The Hungry Mouth
To mould and change
A crackling earth
Delt in chains

Heed the warning cry
Almost at the edge
Under yawning sky
fated to amend

Broken means
But to what end?
Call it growth
Call it a friend?

Heed the warning cry
Almost at the edge
Under yawning sky fated to amend

The waiting sky
The scramble above the torrent
Wade through night
The hope, heavy on us
Do we fold or can we begin to make whole?

Holy work
Let me know how
to build and not destroy

Oh the warning cry
Almost at the edge
Under yawning sky fated to amend

The waiting sky
The scramble above the torrent
Wade through night
The cost, heavy on us
Do we fold or can we begin to make whole?

How to build it better make it work?
When the flesh in question cannot help but wither and turn
Questions that are fated to disperse

I can no longer see if this is enough

Is this enough?
To the heart I ask what I need
[Is this enough?]
While the light is falling
[Is this enough?]
To the heart I ask what I leave
While the night is calling
To the heart I ask what I l need
Is this enough?
