VERSE ONE:
you don't test my patience, you offer it
you don't get on my nerves, you calm them
you cut off my flowers, and plant new seeds
germination's a test of patience for me
CHORUS:
you made me love,
like it's my last time on earth
my gut feeling's eating me alive
and my insides writhe in fright
the earth is sinking, love is missing
we feed our anger till it begs us no more
but by then, we've destroyed our only home
what starts within, must end within
we carry war— as a blessing
we ignore— friends in passing
VERSE TWO:
you passed by my home, and became it
you stopped by my door, and framed it
i tossed you a cent, and you saved it
you knelt by my fence, and painted it
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
we save the bad news for the last
now the metal's turned to brass
if i asked you who you are
would you respond with, "an avatar"?
i'd been, awaiting your prescence
long since, you rang my doorbell
vessels of remembrance,
lessons of enchantment
(CHORUS)
these are my...
vessels of remembrance,
lessons of enchantment
