Thief in the Night - Branches

Every word is an enemy

From my mouth, piling at my feet

Bullet shells, I am ankle deep

In a feeling that I cannot keep

I am locked inside this cage

All my words running from the page

And the same words that we spoke

Fill the air like the cannon smoke

I heard the answer come like a thief in the night, a thief in the night

I heard the darkness grows before the light, before the light

I know it seems like there is no end in sight, no end in sight

I know the wind will blow, but we’ll be alright, we’ll be alright

Turning over every stone and tree

Looking for something to set me free

Something that I cannot seem to find

In the minefield we left behind

All is fair, remember you had said

There’s a battlefield inside my head

I can’t retreat from all that I have done

And there’s nowhere left that I can run

I heard the cannons sound across the night, across the night

I saw the fire grow inside your eyes, inside your eyes

I know it seems like there is no end in sight, no end in sight

But the only thing I know is that we’ll be alright, we’ll be alright
