lyrics

burn the books in the belly of your boat
skip the stones that you stole from off the shore
this is a pilgrimage
you are a pilgrimage

paint the picture of the person you would be
if your rabbit heart could bear the jealousy
teach yourself to build a fire
wild in the wintertime

every blue girl tattooed
with taxidermy in her arms
every soothsayer
every salesman door to door
every sorcerer, fortune teller
shadow boxer setting bones
every storm
in every home

beg the tuning forks inside your body hum
stoke the fire fodder in you, burn the sun
this is a pilgrimage
you are a pilgrimage

sweetness how you taste like snake oil on the tongue
white light, wolves are at your door
you're on the run again
teach yourself to build a fire
wild in the wintertime

every blue girl tattooed
with taxidermy in her arms
every soothsayer
every salesman door to door
every sorcerer, fortune teller
shadow boxer setting bones
every storm
in every home
