swollen

when the horses march in i'll be ready for them
eyes already swollen
eyes already swollen

when the clouds burst open and the arrows descend
i'm already broken
i'm already broken

and the longing i feel is a ruse it's not real
if the wounds fail to heal
if the wounds never heal

can the chasm of tears make it all disappear?
turn my body into time
rip you out of my mind

rip you out of my mind
