Teeth - Bowerbirds

Only through the teeth of life

I see my ancient figure

My hands are strong

My eyes are endless

Oh, and my mind is the open ocean

That swells and broils with wild invention

In my great sun

Without boundaries

My love’s a giant welt

My heart is burning

Oh, through the teeth of life

A brilliant flame in a dark time

Oh, and the fleeting sun

Oh, the wild, gold beauty

So consumed, so removed

In the far reaches

O, resilient light

You are strong and sure without me

You are boldly dismantling

Oh, through the teeth of life

A brilliant flame in a dark time

Oh, and the fleeting sun

Oh, the wild, gold beauty

So consumed, so removed

In the far reaches

O, resilient light

You are strong and sure without me

You are boldly dismantling

Oh, and the fleeting sun

Oh, the wild, gold beauty

So consumed, so removed

In the far reaches

O, resilient light

You are strong and sure without me

You are boldly dismantling
