Sword in Mouth, Fire Eyes - Norma Jean

We calmly weigh our thoughts before we know them.

Careful not to break our only scale,

But there is no lament in taking chances.

Fall a little while before we soar.

Sword in mouth, and helpless in the bond we have between us.

Fire eyes, and desperate for the helplessness we love.

Turn to the path I’ve walked in my reflection but not before the sheep becomes

the wolf.

Loveless without shame.

I was only waiting for the calm before the storm.

The tongue was being sharpened by the lie.

Sword in mouth, and helpless in the bond we have between us.

Fire eyes, and desperate for the helplessness we love.

So tell us all the things we need to know now.

You’ll find us in the silence of our own guilt.

Shout it from the hell below.

Shake us but be gentle so.

Take our hand,

walk us through the land I stole.

Help us to lay down.
