lyrics

The air is thick with death, my friends, a fire from below
It started green but it turned to red, ripe and rotting from long ago
We burn it long to fuel our lives, though the smoke, it fills our lungs
The air is thin, too thin to breathe, can we put the fire out?

Meet me in the thin places where the air and fire collide
Meet me in the thin places where the wildest spirits fly

Your skin is dark like armor, no sticks or stones can break
Your body language bears the scars of punches you did take
Your skin is thin beneath the calloused, calloused thoughts can wound
I need to bare my own thin skin, to feel like you do, feel like you do

Meet me in the thin places where the skin and the fire collide
Meet me in the thin places where the wildest spirits fly

The water’s thick with oil and blood that soil the native lands
Its people drinking, choking, drowning, on this rock today they stand
The water’s thin, the poison spreads to poison every drop
The water makes us, water makes us, can we turn the poison off?

Meet me in the thin places where the water and the fire collide
Meet me in the thin places where the wildest spirits fly
