  • Define her abyss, show it respect
    Then a celestial nest will grow above

    When I'm broken, I am whole
    And when I'm whole, I'm broken

    Our mother's philosophy
    It feels like quicksand
    And if she sinks
    I'm going down with her

    Locate her black lake, the steam from this pit
    Will form a cloud for her to live on

    When she's broken, she is whole
    And when she's whole, she's broken

    Our mother's philosophy
    It feels like quicksand
    And if she sinks
    I'm going down with her

    Hackle this darkness
    Up to the light
    Where choreographed oxygen
    Embroiders the air

    When we're broken we are whole
    And when we're whole we're broken

    We are the siblings of the sun
    Let's step into this beam
    Every time you give up
    You take away our future
    And my continuity and my daughter's
    And her daughters
    And her daughters
    And her daughters Writer/s: Björk Gudmundsdottir, John Flynn
