You are the girl with a black heart

You are the stars

You are the girl with a bright light

I see it shine

You find yourself wrapped up in a black art

You bear the scars

You are the girl with a black heart

I see it shine

I watch your sun set

And then you lift the moon into a sky on fire

And the colours that you choose

To court and spark

To ignite the dark

Burning up in the bright light of your black heart

Your black heart

You shake the cold off of your shoulders

Your bones harden in the breeze

Billowing smoke, white ghosts are bowed ribbons

Through the shivering leave

You breathe a big wind

You sing of ice and snow

Shutting up them hungry dogs

You come and bury them bones

You bathe them bright white in the shadows

Burning up in the bright light of your black heart

And I want you to believe everything that I say

And I want you to believe in the good that you do

And the beauty of a black heart

Is the light shining through

And the light is you
