In the August Lyrics

We saw an opening in the ocean

As it closed we dove in

The mouths of people hanging open

We made our choice when we were chosen

In the August of the home world

I'm your pilot I'm your homegirl, look around

The night, a dusty pink enfolding

Our little hearts, our breath still holding

A little longer, a softer morning

We never drowned while we were burning

In the twilight of the moment

I'm your sweetheart I'm your soldier, carry on

Hosanna, Hosanna

Oh God I only wanna be with you

But there's a million other people in my room

With the floodgates spilling over

I am steadfast, I'm your lover, how are you

If this is the ending

There's a joy that lies pretending in our hearts

Your body is a furnace radiating

Through my cold anemic parts

Fire above, and the oceans to soothe

All the stars falling down round a sanguine red moon

My love, my love, I have nothing to prove

Just a body to lose and a temple for you

We saw an opening in the ocean

The parted sea already closing

The eyes of watchers watching hopeless

We made our choice when we were chosen

In the August of the home world

I'm your pilot, I'm your homegirl

I'm your sweetheart, I'm your soldier

I'm the whole world on your shoulder

I'm your lifeline, I'm your anchor

I am joy and I am anger

I am hopeful, I am rising

I'm salvation, I am trying
