Defeat

Lightning crested, read your letter Looked through pinholes to streets unguarded Panic seeking solitude Serpents circle in the fountain Thoughts of things decaying fast I awake to healthy roses Violence brings innocent tombs Liars linger in our soil Douse the sheets they'll turn to ash This whole thing will also pass Danger's laying with the lamb Draw the signs We'll build the boats And wash away Just grab something, take hold The only thing to hold Stay grounded like the spruce A little change Just grab something take hold The only thing you know Stay grounded like the spruce One day friend we'll meet again And hopefully then the earth is quiet I'll lay down with you in bed Loneliness is left for letters Voices yelling, love is bruised No one praising bits of silence Watch as gems they're holding fall Dive to catch, the sluice was pulled It broke that day Just grab something take hold The only thing to hold Stay grounded like the spruce A little change Just grab something, take hold The only thing you know Stay grounded like the spruce Crawling from the serpent in the water The mirror, the what-have-we-become Crawling from the serpent in the water The mirror, the what-have-we-become Crawling from the serpent in the water The mirror, the what-have-we-become Crawling from the serpent in the water The mirror, the what-have-we-become Crawling from the serpent in the water The mirror, the what-have-we-become Crawling from the serpent in the water The mirror, the what-have-we-become Crawling from the serpent in the water The mirror, the what-have-we-become Crawling from the serpent in the water The mirror, the what-have-we-become Once on a good day (once on a good day) A good way was sometimes paved right Handled with care We were coming of age The anythings will do Twist them off and pass them 'round Where did it change? Coming of age We once got a free line Opportunity radicals You're on top of your game When you're coming of age And praise for the underdog That was you with the good dog What was it's name? Coming of age? Just a frightened mother Looking for her daughter Justice, justice wanders Looking for some shelter Once on a good day (once on a good day) I had a room and you knew it well Our games were all grace We were coming of age And we were the good news Now I'm all out but how about you? Where do we stand? Coming of age Just a frightened mother Looking for her daughter Justice, justice wanders Looking for some shelter Isn't it now? Defeat! Oh no, not now Isn't it it now? Defeat! Oh no, not now Isn't it now? Defeat! Oh no, not now Isn't it now? Defeat! Oh no, not now Just a frightened mother Looking for her daughter Justice, justice wanders Looking for some shelter Isn't it now? Defeat! Oh no, not now Isn't it it now? Defeat! Oh no, not now Isn't it now? Defeat! Oh no, not now Isn't it now? Defeat! Oh no, not now Isn't it now? Defeat! Oh no, not now Isn't it it now? Defeat! Oh no Isn't it now? Defeat! Isn't it? Defeat!
