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 walk the path 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 and walk us through the
Take my hand, walk me through the land I stole
Help us to lay down
Help us to lay down
Help us to lay down

Sword in mouth and
Helpless in the bond we have between us
Fire eyes and
Desperate for the helplessness we love
