lyrics

Burn my eyes and bleach my mind
Blend into the cloudless skies, I’m grieving you
Got to get their bread and wine
Got the gall to cut the line and steal from you

Way up high on wildfire mountain
Golden meadows glowing like the sun
It’s all we ever done, falls on everyone
Oh I missed you from the moment you were gone

Actions planned and oaths abandoned
Stranded in the smoke to know what’s real in you
A raven with a writhing rat flies high above this habitat
As if fleeing with you
A valley floor to lord above, boiled dry and blackened crust
They made a meal of you

Way up high on wildfire mountain
Golden meadows glowing like the sun
It’s all we ever done, falls on everyone
Oh I missed you from the moment you were gone
I missed you from the moment you were gone

I come here to commune, to be consumed, to shed my skin
And be revealed to you
But they’re there ‘til there’s nothing left, just wipe the board with every step,
They run the field with you
Tear the ceiling with your tears, comes back every fourteen years
Good god, I gotta hope that we can heal you

Way up high on wildfire mountain
Golden meadows glowing like the sun
It’s all we ever done, falls on everyone
Oh I missed you from the moment you were gone
Oh I missed you from the moment you were gone
I missed you from the moment you were gone
I missed you from the moment you were gone
