Where We Always Are

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

She starts at the seam of the morning

Every ending finds her there

Call it birth call it burial

She is the origin and the air

I keep circling the same warm center

Sparks that scatter then return

Something hums beneath the surface

Something ancient something that burns

Pre-Chorus

We arrive and we dissolve

We arrive and we dissolve

Chorus

She always seems to begin

She always seems to end

But she is the source

And that is where we always are

Where we always are

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Where we always are

Oh-oh

Where we always are

Verse 2

Percussion of a pulse that quickens

Then the quiet settles in

Every doorway opens backward

Into where we all have been

I have grieved I have been given

I have held a brand new name

Flesh and furnace both the same

Pre-Chorus

We arrive and we dissolve

We arrive and we dissolve

Chorus

She always seems to begin

She always seems to end

But she is the source

And that is where we always are

Where we always are

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Where we always are

Oh-oh

Where we always are

Bridge

Mother mother of the marrow

Mother of the closing door

You are the well you are the wound

You are the always and the more

Always the more

Always the more

Breakdown

Begin

End

Begin

End

She is the source

She is the source

Chorus

She always seems to begin

She always seems to end

But she is the source

And that is where we always are

Where we always are

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Where we always are
