close your eyes
for every night has its secrets
come claim your prize
from this tub of filthy trinkets
defy the wind
let me come in
though all the doors they might
swing wide
you slashed for days
and walked roads unpaved
but you will lay here with me tonight
a clever child
oh but you grew up so haunted
the flames run wild
oh, was this not what you wanted?
defy the wind
don’t let them in
for you are sworn now to me
my love
the saints parade
while dancing profane
but still they pray on their knees
for love
and so we cast off
in that burned balloon
returned up to the sky
then a fabulous fall
and farewell to you all
well i never was much of one
for goodbyes
open your eyes
now you are just another secret
the serpent unwinds
you ask “darling, can we keep it?”
yes i’m the wind
and i’m coming in
and all the doors
they shall swing wide
we slashed for days
and walked roads unpaved
but you will lay here with me tonight
