I put the groceries down on the front lawn
~#**************#~
And think maybe the children just want recognition
~#**************#~
I wrote the fairytale on a midnight drive
~#**************#~
Wanting to know if Im more than alive
~#**************#~
I torched the fields again
~#**************#~
And killed an honest man
~#**************#~
Now I understand Mother Nature
~#**************#~
Watch me running head-first into the thorns
~#**************#~
Its like the lights are off but somebodys home
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Unwrap that tourniquet round the sun
~#**************#~
Turn those subtle reds into neon
~#**************#~
Youll see the difference when its done
~#**************#~
But I undеrstand your hesitation
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Come take a walk with mе down billionaires row
~#**************#~
Trying to keep our balance over zero
~#**************#~
Well write the fairytale for the rest of our lives
~#**************#~
Throwing the trash away one more time
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Holding on to love like a stone
~#**************#~
Melting down today for tomorrows
~#**************#~
Covenant of the heart
~#**************#~
You know its turbulent from the start
~#**************#~
And I understand its not your nature
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus]
~#**************#~
But you need a friend
~#**************#~
To take you home
~#**************#~
Youve got to begin again
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
To open castle gates and let me go inside
~#**************#~
And taste the bitter tea that wont let you hide
~#**************#~
Then we can take away as much as we can steal
~#**************#~
Break all the precious bones before the guards appear
~#**************#~
Before the fantasy is cast into the fire
~#**************#~
And strike the temple bell to resonate the—
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Covenant of the heart
~#**************#~
You know what comes right after the dark
~#**************#~
But I understand your hesitation
