Breathing Rapture Lyrics
Oh, love is shaped like cities burning,
Soot and ash is stretched between
The sea and sky; these lonely islands
Kiss the buildings, black and silent.
Here my eyes bent towards the brightest
Point of light, like some great sign.
And oh! The love!
I was reminded of the time I almost died,
But didn't mind. You close your eyelids,
See the fine-cut colors that are left behind
Like flaming fingers tracing lines-
It's kind of like that.
Oh, love is shaped like cities burning,
Sifting through the ashes after.
We will find your life in laughter,
Oh, the black and breathing rapture.
Soot and ash is stretched between
The sea and sky; these lonely islands
Kiss the buildings, black and silent.
Point of light, like some great sign.
And oh! The love!
I was reminded of the time I almost died,
But didn't mind. You close your eyelids,
See the fine-cut colors that are left behind
Like flaming fingers tracing lines-
It's kind of like that.
Sifting through the ashes after.
We will find your life in laughter,
Oh, the black and breathing rapture.

I know there are two more words after "like flaming fingers tracing lines..." but I can't figure it out.
Beautiful song. The banjo is perfect and the lyrics wonderful.
Like flaming fingers tracing lines, it's kinda like that.
Like flaming fingers tracing lines, it's kinda like that.
