lirik lagu willow-tabarnak - tending to the flame

i’ll be here, tending to~ the flame
log after log and day after day
i’ll press my flesh against the washboards and work out the stains
i’ll use my eyes as stones, and my heart as a strop to the blades
spending hours widdling down hours hoping that more come my way
carefully carving in the back of a bumpy car until i have a face

i’ll be here, tending to~ the flame
log after log and day after day
burning the logs, bones and branches harvested from me
i trim, prune and hack from an old and tired bonsai tree
and shovеling the coal made under prеssure to fuel my peace
because if an ouroboros wants to go on its got to eat

peeling back bandages and winsing at slow progresses sting
that good for you is always better than how it feels
understanding that antiseptics’ discomfort is what you need
to put your chips in, to sacrifice, to give yourself a means

and i’ll be here, tending to~ the flame
log after log and day after day

(cut/live verse)
i’ll brace against consequence crashing against me in waves
standing constant and temperate in the stubborn oceans way
feeling the sledge shatter on my back and turn to rain
and try my best to be there for the good things that come to those who wait
and i’ll be here, tending to~ the flame
log after log and day after day

when worst comes to worst~ if the firmament one day topples again
i’ll hold it close~ deep under my coat
and wait through the rain
hide it in a back closet
behind my heart
tucked behind my veins
tend to the embers in my ribs
and have the smoke persevere my brain
use my breath as a compass
take the road untraveled, i’ll find a way
i’ll carry on burning up inside until i find my place
