(The Dragon Prince and LycanTheThrope collab)
I’m on the graveyard shift again
Quite the keeper of you
Just a light year from us
We’ve been trading our crimes
The smoke in the air
Couldn't hide my shame
I'm running from nothing, no thoughts in my mind
Oh my heart was all black
I took the dust of a long sleepless night
And confessed I tarnished the gold
The wind took your clothes
Just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain
Love got into one of your stories again
The snow blowing ‘round your hands
While we ache to come home somehow
We watched her smoking autumn in the street
Words mean more at night
From the corners of my room
Please read them by the light of the moon
I'm a shot through the dark scaring the crows
I wish I could leave my bones and my skin
I’ll let my hunger take me there
Lonely is a sick hound digging for bones
If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone
They all know I’m a liar
They just laugh wickedly as I burn her down
And those broken-hearted lovers
They got nothing on me
She's a half-written poem
Spread out across the Great Divide
The dark had wooden teeth that broke up the thin air
And I swallowed the sun and screamed and wailed
When we were just larkspur and leaves
Back when we were buried jewels ‘neath the trees
And all fire and flames took all we trust
We were all silver and stone
And I traded all my thoughts in
For an hour of sleep in the snow
Sweet morphine curls a smile when the sadness hits
She's whispering so softly I can hear it all
Won't you come to my house tonight
I got this window that looks out to Orion
The Universe is wounded beautiful
I sent her my warmth and my silence
Lit up every campfire I found out in the dark
I quit counting stars that night in the cold
Kiss me so I remember how
We'll turn these sorrows into strangers
Learned the language of the Mockingbird
She took and twisted all my words
With winter trees and hungry wolves
In your past like a lover can be drowning water
Walking proud and lonesome now
Oh I'm yearning for the pack
Broken bottles shine just like stars
Seeing those golden oaks turn to timber
The daughter of the Northern Lights
Finds my face with her fingertips
Now we are rust coloured stones.
You’ll love her till it all goes dark
Come undone under the lion’s thorns
And I’m saving all my sleep for another life
Wished I could follow a hidden moon eight stories high.
Will we ever fall?
Ah what a shame
This stolen song was never meant to last
