You bathed me in a bath Full of shards of broken glass That glimmered and swam So beautifully bright "Not all beautiful things catch the light" you said Such cynical views for a patient man Such awful thoughts of blood once shed "It doesn't mean they're not there." Then you ran ran ran Like the coward you were
I bathed you in roses But forgot to take out the thorns See my beauty wasn't intended But neither was yours
"Sometimes the smallest things, can hit the hardest." Another one of your wise saying's
No wonder you were guarded
Now I bathe him in feathers And ashes and death But the dead don't speak from their coffins And blood wasn't shed From all the things that we said
Like our words could fix what was broken somewhere else You said that only paper clips And broken strings
