Human Child - Belly

We hold life tight to our chests

Slip it on like a dress

We’re oh so faithfully possessed

We let ourselves be owned by things long gone

Old photographs, old songs

Wrap us in ghosts

Oh human child

Your face to the wind, your back to the sun

Oh human child

You’re digging up bones and miss all the fun

I’m not here to save you I’m just tryna get you outside

Get yourself out of your way and pull your head out of the shade

A bird takes off into above

We follow with our eyes but never grab hold, never own it

That’s as it should be, as it was and ever will be

So let’s stop moaning, stop your sobbing

Oh human child

Your face to the wind, your back to the sun

Oh human child

You’re digging up bones and miss all the fun

I’m not here to save you I’m just tryna get you outside

Get yourself out of your way and pull your head out of the shade

Nothing ever dies but we still gotta let it go

Let your beauty sing across time and stop tryna oh no no

Nothing ever dies but we still gotta let it go

Some trick of the light pulls me upright

Makes me laugh out loud into the emptiness

Some pull on the hair, somebody there

Makes me stare wide eyes into the emptiness

Oh human child

Your face to the wind, your back to the sun

Oh human child

You’re digging up bones and miss every point

It’s a beautiful night, I’m here to drag you outside

Pull your head out of the shade, my sun-blessed babe

It’s a beautiful night, I’m here to drag you outside

Pull your ass out of the shade, my sun-blessed babe

(My sun-blessed babe)

My sun-blessed babe

(My sun-blessed baby)

I’m not here to save you

I’m not here to save you

I’m not here to save you

I’m not here to save you

My sun-blessed baby

My sun-blessed baby

My sun-blessed baby

My sun-blessed baby
