elysium after death - elliotly lyrics

[verse]
trace my cheek with your knuckle, i’ll tuck your stray hairs into place
i want to feel your breath warm my palms as my hands cup your face
as you free all of your worries ’til we’re two flightless birds
i promise to fasten my soul to every last one of your words

you play with your hair in uncertainty and evening glow
the setting sun softening every shadow
i want to speak but there are prayers i need to preserve
your eyes go wide and there’s a hundred knots in each of my nerves

[chorus]
can we sneak onto an empty stage
sit and dangle our legs off the side
we’re not quite ready to come of age
i think i’d die if you held your face to mine

and we watch the dust around us fall
i let my hands drop to my knees
a song we know plays through the wall
pick them up, they’re shaking, please

[verse]
my heart moves with your hair as the wind tosses it askew
your hand hides your laugh but it still fractures me in two
let’s lay on the grass, our summer linens our salvation
your head fits in my arm like a sweet consolation
and i’ll lean over and you’ll finally see the color of my eyes
you’ll tilt your head back just to kiss me by surprise
but i’ll crumble and my sleeve will get caught on a th*rn
i’ll lay down and stare up at the clouds until i’m reborn

[chorus]
can we sneak onto an empty stage
sit and dangle our legs off the side
we’re not quite ready to come of age
i think i’d die if you held your face to mine

and we watch the dust around us fall
i let my hands drop to my knees
a song we know plays through the wall
pick them up, they’re shaking, please

[bridge]
you have the power to rend the soul from my body
but you hold me like a bouquet
you tell me i’m wasting time in your embrace
i wish you knew that i would stay

you have the power to rend the soul from my body
but you hold me like a bouquet
you tell me i’m wasting time in your embrace
i wish you knew that i would stay
[outro]
the floor has come up to swallow me at las
let go of me and let me sink away
and no, a doe*eyed glance won’t do anything
for a heap of reckless naivete

i wish i could forget your voice for one second
it’s already hard to catch my breath
and every glimpse of your smile is a twist in the gut
please be my elysium after death
