Ancient Wars

 

Break these deadbolts off the frame
Save this fortress from the damned
Rose quartz bones make us insane
Ash from flames paint us glam
And... You'd never know
 
Dust settles with the sun rise
Another great day for war
When light lives the shadow dies
Throw it out and hit the floor
And... Watch the sky glow
 
This one-sided war left burns
Flash forward
And a few wrong turns
Predator and prey are one and the same
Curse and pray despite restraint
And breathe out my name
 
I should go
Give up control
Talk to my soul like you've known it before
Ground me and these shallow roots
Fix this broken parachute
Drown in these eyes and find yours
Yeah, you've known it before
 
Once upon a lifetime
I was told of an ancient prayer
Truth bleeds between the lies
Sacred magic drifting through the air
And... You'd never know
 
Which life was your crime?
Your innocence proves, not this one
But you're paying the price
I forgive you, let karma be done
And... Watch the sky glow
 
Don't be fooled
No one's excluded
Take your bulletproof light
And pick a side
 
This one-sided war left burns
Flash forward
And a few wrong turns
Predator and prey are one and the same
Curse and pray despite restraint
And breathe out my name
breathe out my name
 
Love Always,
Lainey
