New Myth - Lia Ices

Story let me live

The stars are known and fixed for all children

Story you’re a poem

Rush right past the words to the symbol

Who’ll memorize us, like the echo and the shadow know?

Who’ll leave us better told?

New myth just been born has never felt so old

Story let me die

Get to the garden and leave your body outside

Story sell me same

Sap through the tree running stream

We all know blood and vein

The choir’s singing in a language that we don’t know

You’ve never known me better than now

And this newest song sings like the oldest sound

Say my name like it’s never been before

Like the oldest book that gets new life with new title

Who’ll memorize us, like the echo and the shadow know?

Who’ll leave us better told?

New myth just been born has never felt so old
