Hail Of Arrows

Sleep and forget until the names we knew are

bodies walled in a doorless room

and we won’t turn back.

Clouds of sparrows are startled into flight

as a hail of arrows is unleashed at the sky

and we won’t turn back.

So here we go,

this might curse our luck,

these mirror-haunted allways,

we’re echo-testing for a hole we’ll never find.

So let’s just close our eyes this time

I will love you always,

I wouldn’t lie,

I wouldn’t lie.

So pour me out on the eastern coast where the water’s cold as a mermaid’s ghost

and the long days hide.

And one of these nights we will bloom in the trees

push our old sick hearts from the roots to the leaves

and then open wide.

So here we go,

this might curse our luck,

these mirror-haunted allways,

we’re echo-testing for a hole we’ll never find.

So let’s just close our eyes this time,

i will love you always,

i wouldn’t lie,

i wouldn’t lie.

Locked hearts keep lost time.

Cause it’s hard,

to lay arms down.

In the arms of the one,

who lays you bare.

But if we don’t,

shield ourselves.

Then we won’t have to fear,

fear the arrows.

Cause it’s hard,

to lay arms down.

In the arms of the one,

who lays you bare.

But if we don’t,

shield ourselves.

Then we won’t have to fear,

fear the arrows.
