We cut our tongues On the grey of morning for the one we love The sisters argued about what was done As joy and sorrow often do On the mantle hangs Our hearts with yours and all the sticky pain The same thing that we have blamed Is the same thing that we need The shadows light can bring In the joy and suffering The shadows light can bring In the joy and suffering In the arms Of saint felicity is a thousand storms Quietly rusting but still giving hope This is a comma, not a period Curse the birds For singing on a day when we have hurt Tryin' to see through eyes that weeping blurred If I could see you would it even change?
