Pieces

LETRA

Pieces

You see her from the deep garden and her hair is soaking wet
The bedroom light is flickering to the pounding of your heart
You close your eyes and count to ten and then they open, you are steeled
Slow your breathing down to meet all the shadows and the ghosts

The pieces of your heart collapse to the sound of beating drums
You can't contain it anymore so just let the madness come
There's something in the way she moves that just terrorises you
You've tried to piece confusing clues together in your head

I see you there, you're shining like a beacon
The fabric tears and my love burns for you
The end of me is in there with you right now
The car engine is still too hot to touch

You're married to her in your mind and she loves you like a son
You're yearning for the place in time and a home to call your own
It smashed into you hard enough that you will not soon forget
You want her like a sword and shield and you want her here and now

I see you there, you are my only empire
I call your name but it becomes the wind
The sudden lurch, the quickening of foot falls
My bible held above me like an axe
