Fell Like An Axe Lyrics by Matthew E. White

K Bay

2021

[Verse 1]
Long spears of silence, public space, electric light
We landed on the coast of Alabama, ocean of leather, violent night
The sea was the color of lead, and the sky the color of smoke
And the circles of the moon keep vibrating, keeps vibrating
[Verse 2]
Moon sliced like a lime, a smooth green disc
Black sunset burned in your eyes a saline mist
Cool stars the color of ice, dark water, never darker than this
And the gentle coast keeps vibrating, keeps vibrating
[Chorus]
When love lеaned on us, it fell like an axе, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe
When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe
When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Two horses racing each other in a fist of fog
There was blood on this beach and in the mood that wove itself between us all
We grip the night like prophets honey, one might call it holding on
The unholy ghosts keep vibrating, keep vibrating
[Verse 4]
And when the slow wind is strumming our bodies like a cheap guitar
When the freshly woken daylight meets the gentle wavelength of the human pause
Under these muted seagulls and the soft hands of the sun
Man, the silence, it will crush you like the lowest vibration
[Chorus]
When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe
When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe, girl
When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Are we ever qualified baby?
Tell me if I’m qualified baby, please
Am I ever qualified?
Are we ever qualified baby, please
[Chorus]
When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe
When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe, girl
When love leaned on us, it fell like an axe, yeah, yeah, yeah
