Yellowed They Hang

Recited your name for the love of the sound
I will bring dark syllables round
Found white flowers at my door
Yellowed they hang about
Made this half hearted attempt
To close your eyes
To bleed you dry
To bleed the light
Because we all could use
A courtesy as an alibi
Wish no one to afford me
That there is no one left to grieve

So touch me sweet and deep
We will part and this will keep
Like blood shed in your name
Stained like a fool
Made to fade and fade, it’s stayed
A shade of love that’s remained
Oh I’m drawn to,
Shamelessly crying out for

To forge in the deepest mine
Bring armor forth, dull it shines
Found white flowers at my door
Yellowed they hang about
Saved the way you left them
Wilted pressed and dried

So touch me sweet and deep
We will part and this will keep
Like blood shed in your name
Stained like a fool
Made to fade and fade, it’s stayed
A shade of love that’s remained
Oh I’m drawn to, oh crying out
Don’t you know?

We’ll only get so much older
Before we all turn to silver
We’ll only have these hours
Before we return steely
We only have these fingers
For the moment dark conceals
We’ll only get so much colder
As the days spread on
