Stars they all burn here like embers tonight, this winter has set in my bones
Strangers for seconds trading the lessons of battle scars blood sticks and stones
I am still standing with roses manhandled at the graveyard you built for your heart
I've come to make offerings pray for safe passage, and weep by the stones in the dark
I waited for you, didn't know what else I should do
I bled for you, didn't know what else I should do
You have seen storms that I can't imagine, the tempests have rattled your bones
But rather than fight it, you take it in silence and pray to sink soft like a stone
When all of the layers have fallen away, to reveal your untouchable heart
Such a luminous entity fails not on purity, but on fear that drives two loves apart
I waited for you, didn't know what else I should do.
I bled for you, didn't know what else I should do
