I reached to borrow beauty
Just for the afternoon
Poor scorched foliage watch me
Trample it down into the ground
White of the eyes red of the lips
Madman
I felt the thorn prick and next there was flesh a-torn
The drop of blood on my finger
It was an easy tear
Wet silk
I mean no harm in asking which way is meant to be
The safest path in all these fate lines
Of course it's meant to be me
Bring a tear to this glass eye
Oh how I tried
Let bygones be bygones nigh
I'll have to try
Back behind the orchard
Behind the vined stone wall
A distant memory lives and waits
Though I'm not sure it happened at all
I saw a specter on the swingset
Face a dull blank
Not a whine or a screech
Just empty smile silences
Am I so vulnerable
Pennies on my tongue
Metal in my mouth
Just a drop is payment enough
Take this knife from my lung
No one is to blame
I'm the one ashamed
My hand drove the blade deep
I felt the thorn prick and next there was flesh a-torn
The drop of blood on my finger
It was an easy tear
Wet silk
I mean no harm in asking
Which way is meant to be
The safest path in all these fate lines
Of course it's meant to be me
Bring a tear to this glass eye
Oh how I tried
Let bygones be bygones nigh
I'll have to try
White of eyes red of lips
I reached to borrow beauty
Just for the afternoon
White of eyes red of lips
I reached to borrow beauty
I've never been so sorry
Trample it down into the ground
White of the eyes red of the lips
