Teeth

Bowerbirds

Only through the teeth of life
I see my ancient figure
My hands are strong
My eyes are endless
Oh, and my mind is the open ocean
That swells and broils with wild invention

In my great sun
Without boundaries
My love's a giant welt
My heart is burning

Oh, through the teeth of life
A brilliant flame in a dark time

Oh, and the fleeting sun
Oh, the wild, gold beauty
So consumed, so removed
In the far reaches
O, resilient light
You are strong and sure without me
You are boldly dismantling

Oh, through the teeth of life
A brilliant flame in a dark time

Oh, and the fleeting sun
Oh, the wild, gold beauty
So consumed, so removed
In the far reaches
O, resilient light
You are strong and sure without me
You are boldly dismantling

Oh, and the fleeting sun
Oh, the wild, gold beauty
So consumed, so removed
In the far reaches
O, resilient light
You are strong and sure without me
You are boldly dismantling
