Dirt by XOAN Lyrics

I know
Buried in the sternum like a tree
Something’s throbbing within
I know
Crooning as the fragments drift astray
It takes the edge off the ache

Lately
Everything seems further from my grasp
Maybe
Dirges might be all we’ve ever asked

Above
Calculating what the weather brings
Countless meaningless things
But I know
Floating through the river we called time
Glory shines like a dime

Sing me
Elegies of lives I’ve never lived
Sink in
Dowagers can teach you how to swim
Maybe
Golden coins will cover up my eyes
Maybe
Definitely that’s what’s peace of mind
