Stare It Down

Time is a lullaby Sleep through the days like an endless night Stare down your dreams until you get them right Time is a lullaby The sky in your eyes is all you can see Before you get broken, come to me And we’ll fly through these halcyon days Birds out of season, we’ll flee our wicker cage And stare down the ghost that you called by name Fly, and we’ll fade away The sky in your eyes is all you can see Before you get broken, come to me Forget the past Stay off the barrows You can’t go back and try to bring her here I can hear their wings beat at the door Their tiny, bloody beaks lie on the floor
