Trees fall like
Iron
On their way
Down
We bury our hands
In their hearts
And waste away
Again
Because I have tried
To turn words to stone
Tried to fight the day
With my eyes closed
Cut away at questions
Until my tongue bled
Held in answers
Until I lost my breath
Sink in
Shallow like sand
Sink in
Shallow like sand
I will not
Wear this blood on my hands
So shake that halo
From your head
Because
We've been down this road
Grasped at all
The same straws
Sink in
Shallow like sand
Sink in
Shallow like sand
Eyes
That catch the light
And burn up
Our insides
Eyes
That catch the light
And burn up
Our insides
These butterflies
With wings of glass
That shatter
Mid air
I'm
I'm afraid that
This fever has gotten to us
Again
These butterflies
With wings of glass
That shatter
Mid air
I'm
I'm afraid that
This fever has gotten to us
Again
Because I have tried
To turn words to stone
Tried to fight the day
With my eyes closed
Cut away at questions
Until my tongue bled
Held in answers
Until I lost my breath
Sink in
Shallow like sand
Sink in
Shallow like sand
Your splintered words
Have gouged my soul
Your splintered words
Have gouged my soul
