Fingerprints - Hiatus Kaiyote

Broken memories

They taunt me like a bird caged by scorched wings

Puzzle pieces missing

The grubby fingerprints

That kissed the walls have vanished

Like the wind without her whisperings

And the colours wept from all her tapestries

Would be left nothing but sullen imagery

The uncertainty of forgotten things

Broken memories

They taunt me like a bird caged by scorched wings

Puzzle pieces missing

The grubby fingerprints

That kissed the walls have vanished

The phoenix she dies with her wings burning

She sinks from the sky to the earth returning

Oh she will rise through ashes singing

New wisdom she flies

New wisdom she flies

Wisdom she flies to a new beginning
