Scared Quiet Night

Coz i am just a scared quiet child
In a cold lonely night
And i couldn't explain these tears of mine
If i tried a million years

And would you make fun of me
Would you leave if you saw
Would you be angry
And fail to understand

Coz I'm just a scared quiet child
In a cold lonely night
And i couldn't be anything else
If i tried a million years

It's like a cloudburst on a summer night
Never stay too long
Everything rooted only feels pain
Adrift there's only you
In the shadow of the moon's face
And the dead weight of the past
You're the glimmering hope i see
When pity twists my heart

Coz I'm just a scared quiet child
In a cold lonely night
And if the best i could catch on my sunniest day
Is you, I'm good as dead

Strange

The strange light burns on
Through the night with strange blades for company
They whir through the air
Sending light and air ascatter
As below them, things and lives shift
Alike in a sea of trash

They stand vigil over a ruined palace
The mistress therein afflicted by a strange illness
For what could cure her she sent away
Way before the start of time
And the wound within festered away
Like tears under a strange white light

She scoffs at princes on white chargers
Sent to her for her amusement
She waves away her food and drink
And sits by the sill to wait

And she listens for forbidden hoof beats
For the stealthy sneak and whispered treason
For news of the exiled, of rebellion and war
For she hopes for her enemy to come carry her away

She whispers her hopes into the wind
Lay my kingdom to waste
Rape and pillage, let the flames tear at the sky
For I sent my love away
And he may come back only when I am defeated
