Crooked Arrows - Rocky Votolato

In this movie dream, the lights flickering

Shadows dancing on the screen

Ghost voices in the church are deflowering

Floating up and over

Poison excrete out into the street where we will meet

I’m making my new home in this abandoned lot

Children will be lead like pack rats

Into my toy paper church

Siren’s chorus choir sings out a tune in a garden

And I’m drowning in the lights that swim behind my closed eyes

It’s a funeral for every song

That we’ve ever know, that we’ve ever known

I got my reasons for this silent sermon, I just can’t explain

I know I’ve sewn my own mouth shut

It’s just best I keep quiet 'cause when I speak

The words don’t do a thing to explain what I mean

The author of all things whispered in your ear

While you were asleep

You’re not alone with crooked arrows

Like you used to think

Doubt is a bastard child

Born of your ignorance and your arrogance

And I’m drowning in the lights

That swim behind my closed eyes

It’s a funeral for every song that we’ve ever known

That we’ve ever known, that we’ve ever known
