Thread of Myths

[Verse 1] I learned my name from ash and bone From stories passed through a broken home My grandma swore the moon once cried When she was young and the river lied She said the hills still keep their vows And old gods sleep in the cattle bows I kept my doubts, I kept my shoes Still every path had a mark to lose [Pre-Chorus] Tell me, tell me, what survives When the truth wears a thousand lives? I hear it calling through the trees Beneath the skin of memory [Chorus] Tell me the myth, tell me the myth Who taught the wind to twist like this? Tell me the myth, tell me the myth I was made for a story like this Oh, I believe Oh, I believe Tell me the myth, tell me the myth Who taught the dark to dance like this? [Verse 2] There was a girl with a river crown She kissed the smoke and shut it down A wolf came soft with jeweled teeth And left a prayer in the cedar leaves A king fell down in a field of reeds For chasing gold and starving seeds But every ruin that men condemn Turns into a shrine if you touch it again [Pre-Chorus] Tell me, tell me, what survives When the truth wears a thousand lives? I hear it calling through the trees Beneath the skin of memory [Chorus] Tell me the myth, tell me the myth Who taught the wind to twist like this? Tell me the myth, tell me the myth I was made for a story like this Oh, I believe Oh, I believe Tell me the myth, tell me the myth Who taught the dark to dance like this? [Bridge] Maybe gods are just old hurt Wearing gold and making words Maybe monsters are the shame We keep feeding in our veins Still I light a little fire At the edge of my desire If the heavens want me found They can come and meet me down [Final Chorus] Tell me the myth, tell me the myth Who taught the wind to twist like this? Tell me the myth, tell me the myth I was made for a story like this Oh, I believe Oh, I believe Tell me the myth, tell me the myth I was born to dance with this
