lyrics

All along the fields of fire
I watched you with a smile
You grinned, content
Laughing as I spat desire

And we sat through the stranded years
Motionless, meaningless
Repented thoughts caught in a sieve
These were days that you had lived

We fell from heights, from wings of wax
To land so hard to break out backs
And now that smile, it has no teeth
No matter, it feels good at least
I waved "hello" from a horse's back
On the mountain tops, your wings did flap
Your talons clenched as your fever writhed
And I never saw the monster inside

I never meant to clip those things
Stuff the mattress and mend the springs
They looked so pretty within your cage
But I got so scared when you escaped

Shut the door, look within
Your broken mouth, that wicked grin
I'll keep you safe 'til the day that we die
And I never saw the monster inside
