Between The Briar & The Rose

Stone turns to fire and the battle is won
Lips, cracked and parted, betray a saccharine tongue
Speaking in tunnels meant to follow you through
Here at the opening, the sky is enough to blind you

Do right man, but not right now
Say that you love me but you don’t know how
As though I'm free to leave knowing all that I do
Once here in this place the road disappears behind you

Don’t you wanna be my burden
I can carry you and I, I’ve been learning how since I was a child
I feel hungry without the weight on me

Fire turns to stone and the gate is closed
Now sealed the wall between the Briar and the Rose
Bound by dark, ever unmoored from my home
Warned as we are, we are wound in that knot till undone
