"Thorns And All" lyrics

"Thorns And All"

Knock in the gloom
Safe to assume
If you walked or you flew
Get set to cocoon
Light through the blinds
Covers your eyes
Try to move it outside
Release to the sky

Flashes of gray
Floating away
And beginning to fray
If we do what I say
Beyond our control
These feathers we stole
Just enough to console
Halves to a whole

Hawk in the room
A hawk in the room
Who's stealing from you
Getting close to consume
You opened the door
Opened the door
Keep climbing the walls
To reveal thorns and all

Counterattacks
Taking me back
Laying out tracks
To avoid all the cracks
Time to withdraw
While it sharpens its claws
To feed on our flaws
And consume thorns and all

Hawk in the room
A hawk in the room
So healing for you
Getting close to consume
I'm closing the door
Closing the door
Keep climbing the walls
To reveal thorns and all

Hawk in the room
A hawk in the room
Who's stealing from you
Getting close to consume
I'm locking the door
Locking the door
Keep climbing the walls
To reveal thorns and all
