Contain (Cedar Version) Lyrics
Say my name
I will vibrate
And I will linger in the sound for a time
Gathering all of 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 slow vessels
That were never meant to contain anything at all
Stole a smile in a swarm of strangers,
Tidal waves, and tragedies
Your eyes, they were sweet assassins
Pulling memories just out of reach
'Cause we're machines of
Of forgetting
Throwing all these things to time
The future in your folded palm
How I long to walk that line
So come in from this haunted weather and
Tend the fire a while with me
Say my name and I will vibrate
I will not contain
Contain you at all
I will vibrate
And I will linger in the sound for a time
Gathering all of your tiny pieces
And all the things I didn't get quite right
We tread upon them softly
These words are slow vessels
That were never meant to contain anything at all
Tidal waves, and tragedies
Your eyes, they were sweet assassins
Pulling memories just out of reach
'Cause we're machines of
Of forgetting
Throwing all these things to time
The future in your folded palm
How I long to walk that line
Tend the fire a while with me
Say my name and I will vibrate
I will not contain
Contain you at all
