Don't Lose Yourself Lyrics - Laura Veirs

I felt my vocal chords weakening 

I felt my concave thoughts 

I felt my voluntary blindness 

For staring straight into the sun 

The romantic air of your eye patch 

Called me across the room 

I clung there and I danced with you, silent 

Admired your divine tattoo 

We slept in the shadow of a cedar tree 

We made love on the rising tide 

We smelled the perfume of the waxing moon 

We dreamt of all friendships kind 

We touched the blood of the black cat 

We pet the mammoth day of tears 

In the flickering light we were laughing 

Necessity conquers fear

Don't lose yourself 

Don't let yourself be lost 

Don't lose yourself 

Don't let yourself be lost 

Dreaming, we were stones in black stillness 

Dreaming of the death of the sun 

Waking to a world of white windiness 

Painted eyes of the holy ones 

The death of the word was upon us 

And the discipline of the wind 

We see less and less all the time, dear 

Just look at this mess we are in 

Don't lose yourself 

Don't let yourself be lost 

Don't lose yourself 

Don't lose yourself be lost 

Photos 

Staring at the entrance to the mind 

I had prayed for your wounds to close 

Tiger ointment and a cosmic collision 

And the crucifixion of the rose 

Don't lose yourself, don't lose yourself 

Don't lose yourself, don't lose yourself 

Don't lose yourself, don't lose yourself 

Don't lose yourself, don't lose yourself 

Don't lose yourself 

Don't let yourself be lost 

Don't lose yourself 

Don't lose yourself be lost 

Don't lose yourself 

Don't let yourself be lost 

Don't lose yourself 

Don't lose yourself be lost
