Sophie Auster - Word Heat lyrics

The bells chime for no reason and we too Chime bells for no reason and we too Will rejoice in the noise of chains That will chime within us with the bells What is this language that whips us as we tumble into the light Our nerves are whips in the hands of time And doubt comes with a single colorless wing The bells chime for no reason and we too The river water has washed its bed so bare It bears away the threads of glances that have dragged At the foot of walls licking up lives in bars Tempting the weak drying up ecstasies Digging to the depths of old possibilities The river water has washed its bed so bare That even the light slides on the smooth wave And falls to the bottom with a heavy shattering of stones The bells chime for no reason and we too Cares carried with us The inner clothes We put on each morning Unbu*toned by night's dreaming hands The bells chime for no reason and we too We leave with those leaving arrive with those arriving Leave with those arriving arrive when the others leave Colors put down their weights thinking Thinking or crying or staying or eating Fruits as light as hovering smoke Thinking of the heat that weaves the word Around its kernel the dream called us The bells chime for no reason and we too We walk to escape the swarming roads A single disease sowing our d**h I know I carry the song in me and I am not afraid I carry d**h and if I die it is d**h Who will carry me in his unseen arms The bells chime for no reason and we too Why seek the end of the chain that links us to the chain Chime bells for no reason and we too We will make the broken gla**es chime within us The night's dark breath thickens And along my veins sailors' flutes are singing I think of the heat weaving the word Around its kernel the dream called us
