The Horror and the Wild

You were raised by wolves and voices
 Every night I hear them howling deep beneath your bed
 They said it all comes down to you
 You're the daughter of silent watching stones
 You watch the stars hurl all their fundaments
 In wonderment, at you and yours, forever asking more
 You are that space that's in between
 Every page, every chord and every screen
 You are the driftwood and the rift
 You're the words that I promise I don't mean
 We're drunk but drinking (sunk but sinking)
 They thought us blind (we were just blinking)
 All the stones and kings of old will hear us screaming at the cold
 "Remember me," I ask
 "Remember me," I sing
 Give me back my heart, you wingless thing
 Think of all the horrors that I promised you I'd bring
 I promise you, they'll sing of every time
 You passed your fingers through my hair and called me child
 Witness me, old man, I am the wild
 ♪
 You are the son of every dressing-up box
 And I am time itself, I slow to let you play
 I steal the hours and turn the night into day
 By day, oh Lord, three things I pray
 That I might understand as best I can
 How bold I was, could be, will be, still am, by God, still am
 Fret not, dear heart, let not them hear
 The mutterings of all your fears
 The fluttering of all your wings
 Welcome to the storm, I am thunder
 Welcome to my table, bring your hunger
 Think of all the horrors that I promised you I'd bring
 I promise you, they'll sing of every time
 You passed your fingers through my hair and called me child
 Witness me, old man, I am the wild
