Starship And Haiku Lyrics

[Mich:]
I am the flaw in the tea-bowl, I will not dance death
I will not lie down here in peace and release my last breath
All of our hopes have been cast on the reefs and are gone

Still my salt blood reaches out for the sky
Still my warm song touches notes clear and high
Outward I go, and I know I will fly a new dawn

[Chorus, Mich & Marilisa:]
Starship and Haiku
Dying hate and living love
Reach beyond our sin
Starship and Haiku
One last flawed reminder of
All we might have been

[Marilisa:] I am a discord in deathsong, I cannot be still
[Mich:] I am an infinite paean, a permanent trill
[Marilisa:] I am a leap to the stars, I am song to the sky
[Mich:] Always I shun the bleak burial grounds
[Marilisa:] Always I listen for life's vibrant sounds
[Both:] Always my hollow-reed heartbeat resounds with its cry [Marilisa:] I am the flaw in the tea-bowl, I will not dance death
[Mich:] I am the flaw in the tea-bowl...
I will not lie down here in peace and release my last breath
I will not lie down here in peace...
All of our hopes have been cast on the reefs and are gone
All of our hopes are now gone...

[Both:]
Still my salt blood reaches out for the sky
Still my warm song touches notes clear and high
Outward I go, and I know I will fly a new dawn

[Chorus, both:]
Starship and Haiku
Dying hate and living love
Reach beyond our sin
Starship and Haiku
One last flawed reminder of
All we might have been

Starship and Haiku
Dying hate and living love
Reach beyond our sin
Starship and Haiku
One last flawed reminder of
All we might have been
