Sword in Mouth, Fire Eyes

We calmly weigh our thoughts before we know them

Careful not to break our only scale

But there’s no lament in taking chances

Fall a little while before we soar

Sword in mouth and helpless in the bond we have between us

Fire eyes and desperate for the helplessness we love

Turn to walk the path in my reflection

But not before the sheep becomes the wolf

Loveless without shame. I was only waiting for the calm before the storm.

The tongue was being sharpened by the lie.

Sword in mouth and helpless in the bond we have between us

Fire eyes and desperate for the helplessness we love

Tell us all the things we need to know now

You’ll find us in the silence of our own guilt

Shout it from the hell below

Shake us but be gentle so

Take our hand walk us through

Take my hand walk me through the land I stole

Help us to lay down
