Long Sleeves
A soul in uniform is all I had been Since the passing of that glow against the wall That had grown from you.
But still I feel the same, Though I've lost a bit of weight from all those dressings that I shed I thought they'd sworn to stay in place.
But I've kept a steady peace between my days, Though they're stretching out like flames in a restless rage And the fleeting, selfish thoughts that drew us gray Are cradling the coals.
What could i do?
You'd left your straining heart in a mud-brick mausoleum You were grateful for the sight, But couldn't keep it in your mind
But I steered my way through all that stilted speech, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com A thicket patch of verbs and spines and seeds That fell into a beard of knotted leaves, Virescent on my jaw
What can i do?
The second that you fled yourself I knew I was someone else Staring at that flame you'd lit, A Calvary between your ribs
Now with all that fever gone, We're sleeping with our long sleeves on And hoping for a healthy dawn To place our aching heads upon.
That masonry you'd lain, It was not enough to keep you from your pain.
