Archers

(album: A Wolf In The Doorway - 2015)

Oh I came in on bending knee
It wasn't hard to fall for me
You stood beneath the burning tree
And hoped to rescue leaves
I figured it's the things I've done
Something 'bout the man that I've become
Hey look at all the hearts we've won
These restless little thieves

I shiver through the words I've said
They're warmer than the ones that never left my head
I've made an ocean of this bead
And now I bet you'd starve to roll through it

Well you can let your arrows sing
I've never met a man of iron skin but you know
Archers never make good kings
Fly head first into everything now oohh

I settled into heart and soul
Sell the only thing that I could never own
We fell into these arms but now
We will risk our limbs to find out who we are
Well I can try to get you closer but
I know you'd break your neck just to see the stars
And if we don't dare to hold it
Then this reckless wandering love was never ours

Archers never make good kings
Fly head first into everything now oohh
I came in on bending knee
