Bright Eyes Arienette Lyrics

Arienette Lyrics

The fragile keep secrets, gathered in pockets, and they will sell them for
nothing a cheap watch or locket that kind of gold washes off. The sad at like
lepers, they stick to the shadows and long to ring bells of warning to tell of
their coming so that the pure can shut their doors. The angry are animals
senseless and savage. They act without order in logical lapses, they stain
their mouths with blood. So take my hand, this barren land is alive tonight.
The corn has grown stalks that form a wall that hides. The wind carries sounds
that I can't see from beyond that line. 



Then the stalks begin to sway oh stay with me Arienette until the wolves are
away. The wicked are vultures, they bake in the canyons. They circle in
sunlight and wait for their victims to collapse and call to them. The desperate
are water. They will run down forever and soak into silence to just end up
together in some dark and distant place. So don't leave me here with only
mirrors watching me. This house it holds nothing but the memories. And the moon
it leaves silver but never sleep. And then the silver turns to gray so stay with
me Arienette until the wolves are away.
