Mara Maverick - Permission For The Fall

Oh God,
Find me underneath the frozen snow.
Where buried flowers
Wait for spring to show.
I breathe them in, I
Follow where they grow.
Through constellations,
Dragging what I owe.
It hurts in darkness,
Hurts in light.
No place to hide,
No place to heal.
You're the kind of
Fever that feels alive.
Where nothing false
Feels less than real.
Check the clock, the air is cold.
Don't let your hands begin to shake.
Count the hours, count them slow.
Give me permission for the fall.
Aim for the temple,
Don't miss me now.
Give me your sorrow,
I'll carry it down.
Load me with powder beneath the skin.
Light up the clouds with me.
Let the heavens cave in.
Let the heavens cave in.
On the old roof,
Beneath the evening moon,
I touched the ground like
Something coming home.
I opened up my mouth, but nothing came.
The silence knew the shape of your name.
An angel waited somewhere at my back.
One broken wing
Against the midnight black.
He looked at me as
If he knew the truth.
Some things survive
By never being saved.
Check the clock, the air is cold.
The hour is already here.
Don't turn away,
Don't call me home.
Give me permission for the fall.
Aim for the temple,
Don't miss me now.
Give me your sorrow,
I'll carry it down.
Load me with powder
Beneath the skin.
Light up the clouds with me.
Let the heavens cave in.
Disappear, then come back in my dreams.
Come like a shadow
Through the silver screen.
No hesitation, no more in between.
The door is open,
Step into the scene.
Check the clock, the hands
Are turning white.
The moon is hanging
Like a warning light.
Keep your heart as
Cold as winter stone.
And give me
Leave to make the fall my own.
Flowers under snow, fire under skin.
Heaven hanging low, waiting to begin.
Aim for the temple,
Don't miss me now.
Give me your sorrow,
I'll carry it down.
Load me with powder beneath the skin.
Light up the clouds with me.
Let heaven burn.
Aim for the temple,
Now look at me.
The city is burning where I used to be.
Check the clock, keep it cold.
Give me leave to feel the fall.
Flowers bloom under snow.
I light the clouds and let them go.
