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 hallways.
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 hallways.
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 the arrows.
