Between The Briar & The Rose

Stone turns to fire and the battle is won

Lips, cracked and parted, betray a saccharine tongue

Speaking in tunnels meant to follow you through

Here at the opening, the sky is enough to blind you

Do right man, but not right now

Say that you love me but you don’t know how

As though I'm free to leave knowing all that I do

Once here in this place the road disappears behind you

Don’t you wanna be my burden

I can carry you and I, I’ve been learning how since I was a child

I feel hungry without the weight on me

Fire turns to stone and the gate is closed

Now sealed the wall between the Briar and the Rose

Bound by dark, ever unmoored from my home

Warned as we are, we are wound in that knot till undone
