"Thorns" lyrics

Wrath and thorns
Flaming tongues
Paint my song volatile
Speak in storms
I don't fight it
I let it in
I've bled
Just not enough
Not yet

This may just kill me
But I can't live another way
So if you'd offer guidance
You'd better spell it out plain

'Cause I see no landscape
I see only ruins I've made
I burn my name
Throw me in a shallow grave

I'm dragged and torn
Through shelters scorned
Dynamism calcified
Hold for home
No spoils owed
Sharpen hope
Into knives
Recover, parry

This may just kill me
But I can't live another way
So if you'd offer guidance
You'd better spell it out plain

'Cause I see no landscape
I see only seas of face

Hold for home
If you want it
Then grit your teeth and earn it

This may just kill me
But I can't live another way
So if you'd offer guidance
You'd better spell it out plain

'Cause I don't know my fate
I see only steps to take
I turn my page
Silence burning bright
We wait
