title:Thorns
My shadow of thorns walked out of the sea
the harmony of distant lights carried
him across the rooftops of the city.
chorus:
he rejoined me in a dark room with a guillotine
seasons of light fermented in a clock
revealed the dark places i had been
the blood of my shadow ran clear
a hummingbird appeared the earth
dissolved in the birds porcelain tear
i prayed to two barrren black suns
to free my lawless heart trapped
in the frozen brick sky i watched
the last flight of a bird hoping to die
chorus:
he rejoined me in a dark room with a guillotine
seasons of light fermented in a clock
revealed the dark places i had been
the blood of my shadow ran clear
a hummingbird appeared the earth
dissolved in the birds porcelain tear
bridge:
the melting ice from the sky
gave my burning shadow his alibi
i prayed to two barrren black suns
to free my lawless heart trapped
in the frozen brick sky i watched
the last flight of a bird hoping to die
