Written by Jon Charles Dwyer

lyrics

Born from flowers to a world of steel,
I dream with memories of a time not real.
A pretty young bride, so sure, in a wedding dress.
And little baby girl in her Sunday best.
Mama's at peace and daddy never left.

I'm laying so soft in my lover's bed.
She's sleeping like honeydew stirring my chest.
She's softened her skin, she's planted her seeds.
But I know the briar vine it can be to love me.
I know the briar vine it can be to love.

Shout the moon, consult the stars,
And they'll tell you there's no real medicine to choke the dark.
There is only blood to bleed and a song to sing,
So, we can sharpen the blades or tighten the strings.
Whatever comes first, just keep me in your reach.

I keep on wanting to save myself from me,
but I don't know if that bastard's worth the reach.
I tried to clear and clean this head of mine.
And it only left space for the weeds to rise.
I'm tired of planting my fields with famine in mind.

Shout the moon, consult the stars,
And they'll tell you there's no real medicine to choke the dark.
There is only blood to bleed and a song to sing,
So, we can sharpen the blades or tighten the strings.
Whatever comes first, just keep me in your reach.
