Hidden Cavalry

Call me when you're ready, put the makeup on the shelf
Love to be impatient when you hold me by the stem
Hold the flames and shoot them if I only had the chance
Burn the leaves and learn to stand a little tall
Whisper in my ear all the things I never feared
Why am I still holding a spot beneath the sun
Reminiscing villagers with bottles full of beer
Sometimes it's just pointless to give up the hope
Poisoned hearts and open flasks we barrel through the past
Never die, never get old
Writing on the wall

I am really sorry that I haven't dropped the ball
I'd spend my last dollar to buy you one last rose
Splinters on your fingers, the blisters still unfold
Learn to breathe the air in when the weather's getting cold
Count the stars and blessings keep them saved up in the bank
Thoughts of swirling colors, faded patches in the grass
Hinges need replacement, the shades are full of dust
Walking through the forest with the hidden cavalry
Is there a call to action or will the assembly still proceed
Never die, never get old
Writing on the wall
