No tables are left unturned
Every lesson lazily confirmed
But a shattered lock
Is the same as a winding clock
Both leave you needing air

Because there is no freedom here
From the battle I can't fear
So I mount the saddle
Upon her golden shadow
It takes me to your door

Where I plead my losing case
And with wine my bloods replaced
So I can hum the words
Sung by the nesting birds
They sing of you and I

Then I shutter at the touch
And I slip right through your clutch
But you'll return to him
And my broken limbs
Will entangle once again

But soon I'll be born a new
And my scowl will perform for you
You'll see the show
Though you already know
It ends with a hallow throne

The queen has fled the day
To be drown inside the bay
Where she'll meet her maker
The damnation of our Savior
Promises skies of grey

Just don't look up.
