Music: Laura Marling - Devil's Spoke
only because I cannot face it yet
Only after I have collapsed on my bed
surrendered to my tired eyes
my bitter laughter fading like smoke
as I shower it from my body
and my tears reveal themselves
to leave me cleansed
and my words ready
Only after I have collapsed in bed
lived in the horror and beauty of my mind for a few minutes too long
do I yell a battlecry inside myself
and grab my dragon by her horns
and pull her from her carnage
spinning her to the ground
so I may yet ride her
and temper her flame

Old Dragon
Numbed, I laugh in sarcastic and bitter tonesonly because I cannot face it yet
Only after I have collapsed on my bed
surrendered to my tired eyes
my bitter laughter fading like smoke
as I shower it from my body
and my tears reveal themselves
to leave me cleansed
and my words ready
Only after I have collapsed in bed
lived in the horror and beauty of my mind for a few minutes too long
do I yell a battlecry inside myself
and grab my dragon by her horns
and pull her from her carnage
spinning her to the ground
so I may yet ride her
and temper her flame
