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
