Windowing
The ravens perched on powerlines
Tangled in the trees
Watching with their sentry eyes
Until we fell asleep
Soldiers from our poisoned minds
Waiting for the perfect time
To cut our throats with memories
And fill their hungry beaks
Waiting for our teeth to grind
To ribbon us with leaves
Lying to ourselves we screamed
"We are not our memories are we
Just made of snow and teeth"
I kissed you like a magnetcar
Bracing for the crash
Our love like crumpled newspaper
Shoulder deep in ash
I bled a wine of perfect lies
That stung like stars between your eyes
We never paid attention love
You kissed the summer sun
It was winterlight when we woke up
And saw what we had done
I forgot how to be
And you became a whirl of leaves
In my sunsoaked sheets
Autumn starved the birds had pecked
And clawed us all to shreds
Excuses and apologies were all
That we were left
Our first kiss held for such a while
We fell into unconscious fire
How could we have been so blind
To think we'd cheated blood
To think we could escape ourselves
Cause no one ever does
Watching from behind our glass
And clawing out at those that pass
We were ravens all along
Tangled in the trees
Watching with their sentry eyes
Until we fell asleep
Soldiers from our poisoned minds
Waiting for the perfect time
To cut our throats with memories
And fill their hungry beaks
Waiting for our teeth to grind
To ribbon us with leaves
Lying to ourselves we screamed
"We are not our memories are we
Just made of snow and teeth"
I kissed you like a magnetcar
Bracing for the crash
Our love like crumpled newspaper
Shoulder deep in ash
I bled a wine of perfect lies
That stung like stars between your eyes
We never paid attention love
You kissed the summer sun
It was winterlight when we woke up
And saw what we had done
I forgot how to be
And you became a whirl of leaves
In my sunsoaked sheets
Autumn starved the birds had pecked
And clawed us all to shreds
Excuses and apologies were all
That we were left
Our first kiss held for such a while
We fell into unconscious fire
How could we have been so blind
To think we'd cheated blood
To think we could escape ourselves
Cause no one ever does
Watching from behind our glass
And clawing out at those that pass
We were ravens all along
