Promise

Open hearted as a heart can be

Cause we all a ruin like broken leaves

I give you me in oceans of tears up to my knees

Stitched together like pants and sleeves

I carry this carapace worn thin by he and she

Danced to dust and dusk and

Strung along the highway

I found my way belligerent

Following the stars of your eyes

Promise me that you'll cherish

This tarnished

Oh this tarnished offering

And if you take me inside

And you give me a place to hide and cry

I'll bathe you in the crystal light

That sleeps between my thighs

At times you fear the angle's sigh

To the lord and heavens that this ain't right

But in this chalice you'll find the wine

Our hands hold bonfires burning bright

And the heart is dumb and the heart is blind

But I think you'll find that the lord is kind

And I pray you'll cherish this tarnished offering

Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring

Promise me that you'll cherish

This tarnished

Oh this tarnished offering

Oh this offering

Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring

Sprung from me when first we kissed

You held me quietly a rush purged me of my past

Opened a desert of diamonds vast

Glinting and a tiny of swallows

Swing open the door freed the caged bees and wallows

Swarm geometric patterns on the sun

Eclipse new moon

And tempt my werewolf not to run

Tempt my werewolf not to run

Promise me that you'll cherish

This tarnished

Oh this tarnished offering

Promise me that you'll cherish

This tarnished

Oh this tarnished offering
