Arienette

The fragile keep secrets gathered in pockets

And they will sell them for nothing a cheap watch

Or locket that kind of gold washes off

The sad at like lepers they stick to the shadows and long

To ring bells of warning

To tell of their coming

So that the pure can shut their doors

The angry are animals senseless and savage

They act without order in logical lapses

They stain their mouths with blood

So take my hand this barren land is alive tonight

The corn has grown stalks that

Form a wall that hides

The wind carries sounds that I can't see from beyond that line

Then the stalks begin to sway oh stay with me Arienette until the wolves are away

The wicked are vultures they bake in the canyons

They circle in sunlight and wait for their victims to collapse and call to them

The desperate are water

They will run down forever and soak into silence

Just end up together in some dark and distant dark and distant place

So dont leave me here with only mirrors watching me

This house it holds nothing but the memories

And the moon it leaves silver but never sleep

And then the silver turns to gray so stay with me Arienette until the wolves are away
