Warpaint

I watched in wonder
As you pierced the sky
I never knew the stars
We'd wished on were alive
I swell with weakness
As our worlds collide
I see your eyes on
Bits of me I'd tried to hide
At first
At first

I'm imagining a world
Where fighting isn't all we're worth
Maybe on the other shore
I can wash up and be yours
First

With hands like weapons
And backs too small
Is it fair for me
To feel this way at all?
In eyes that know me
I come apart
But for duty
I'd have given you my heart
First
First

I'm imagining a world
Where fighting isn't all we're worth
Maybe on the other shore
I can wash up and be yours
First

I'm drenched in warpaint
Alive with flame
My words are scathing
But my breath's become your name
And it deepens every day you stay
And I fear that I might drown while you're away
