Perpetual Reinvention ft. Robbie Cavanagh Lyrics

He called you up without a phone

And you swore it felt like home

But the road in your bones

Was offering intention

You thought that fuel would ease the flame

But all horizons look the same

Took a blade to your name

To clarify intention

Perpetual reinvention

In embers found above a cup

You saw the morning light her up

A smoulder and a scale

Offering intention

Piece by piece your fortune died

Still in pursuit your eyes denied

You swore that you tried

Offering intention

Perpetual reinvention

You felt her ghost run into you

But wouldn't face that it was true

In whisphers that she swore

Were offering intention

And when her hand reached for the wall

You were sure you'd seen it all

The fragile and sublime

Offering intention

Perpetual reinvention

And when you found the holy lamb

You knew for sure that you were damned

The weight of a man

Despite best intentions

And although your judgement came

Still you refused to take your name

I'm the one that you call

What you've done not intention

Perpetual reinvention

You spoke so fast to beat the word

But couldn't face the sounds you heard

The floor on your knees

Offering intention

It didn't seem like it could break

Until you saw it on her face

The fool and the flame

Offering intention

Perpetual reinvention

You stood before the book of man

But wouldn't take it in your hand

The ink and the pin

Offering intention

A vastness you had brought to rights

And returned to every night

Every pit in your skin

Offering intention

Perpetual reinvention

Suspicious death had come too soon

A shadow that had drawn on you

A joke you took to heart

To alleviate intention

Your service leaves them with a smile

As they depart in single file

The apple and the dart

Offering temptation

Perpetual reinvention
