Contain (Astoria Version) Lyrics
Say my name
I'll vibrate
And I'll linger in the sound for a time
Gathering all your tiny pieces
And all the things I didn't get quite right
Stories fallen, from the mountain
We tread upon them softly
These words are our slow vessels
That were never meant to contain anything
Stay smiling, sworn stranger
Of tidal waves and tragedies
Your eyes, your eyes, they burn sweet assassins
They pull them rings just out of reach
Where machines are not forgetting
Throwing all these things to time
The future in your folded palm
How I long to walk that line
So, confront this haunted weather
Tend the fire wild with me
Say my name, I'll vibrate
I will not contain you
I will not contain you at all
I'll vibrate
And I'll linger in the sound for a time
Gathering all your tiny pieces
And all the things I didn't get quite right
We tread upon them softly
These words are our slow vessels
That were never meant to contain anything
Of tidal waves and tragedies
Your eyes, your eyes, they burn sweet assassins
They pull them rings just out of reach
Where machines are not forgetting
Throwing all these things to time
The future in your folded palm
How I long to walk that line
Tend the fire wild with me
Say my name, I'll vibrate
I will not contain you
I will not contain you at all
