In a flood of subtle words
A night of anger
I smelled her on your shirt
Your eyes betrayed you
I'm losing my life
I'm bleeding inside
A brittle rose, a mound of dirt
That's all that stayed
Get up and go
I'll lie here silent in your wake
Just bullets and bones
A speechless siren in her grave
Sorrow and stone
Worn by wave on crushing wave
It's all that you've sown in me
My babe
Hushed by winter scenes
And frosted cages
In spring, the restless hills
Will scream, contagious
I'll wake from within
And whisper your sins
And I'll sings through tongues of green
And dark-eyed daisies
Get up and go
I'll lie here silent in your wake
Just bullets and bones
A speechless siren in her grave
Sorrow and stone
Worn by wave on crushing wave
It's all that you've sown in me
My babe
