Arienette

The fragile keep secrets gathered in pockets
And they will sell them for nothing a cheap watch
Or locket that kind of gold washes off
The sad at like lepers they stick to the shadows and long
To ring bells of warning
To tell of their coming
So that the pure can shut their doors
The angry are animals senseless and savage
They act without order in logical lapses
They stain their mouths with blood

So take my hand this barren land is alive tonight

The corn has grown stalks that
Form a wall that hides
The wind carries sounds that I can't see from beyond that line
Then the stalks begin to sway oh stay with me Arienette until the wolves are away
The wicked are vultures they bake in the canyons
They circle in sunlight and wait for their victims to collapse and call to them
The desperate are water

They will run down forever and soak into silence
Just end up together in some dark and distant dark and distant place
So dont leave me here with only mirrors watching me
This house it holds nothing but the memories

And the moon it leaves silver but never sleep
And then the silver turns to gray so stay with me Arienette until the wolves are away
