Land Mine - halos

«Come to bed dear, it’s getting late.»

I want to run, but I know she’ll wait.

So I push and push and push until she

breaks

I picked a flower and dried it up

It took years, but I made it tough

I can’t stop when it’s been enough, and I ruin everything I touch

Now she’s found the words and they’re falling out;

white like smoke from the

side of her mouth

«I woke today and didn’t care — the same as you, so I’d say that’s fair

But if you’ve got some fight to offer, I could still go back…

Or keep this train on track…»

I had it in for you, and the mountains that we moved

I tried shining like the joy that you once knew

«You'll explode, and hurt like a land mine.»

Close your eyes, or you’ll go blind

«I'll be throughly depressed if you don’t if you don’t come around

Write it in your chest write it in your chest that you won’t, let me down.»

At least now you know what to look for: a tall drink of water with that quiet

allure

Come back and beg for more, and more and more…

I had it in for you, and the mountains that we moved

I tried shining like the joy that you once knew

«You'll explode, and hurt like a land mine.»

Close your eyes, or you’ll go blind

«…but you’ve strayed from the days and ways that made it so appealing.»

You’ve strayed from the days and ways that made it so appealing

Oh its sooo

I had it in for you, and the mountains that we moved

I tried shining like the boy that you once knew

You’ll explode and hurt like a landmine

Close your eyes, Close your eyes or you’ll go blind
