His Devotee

You have a way with light
You make it long for you
Soldier and his devotee
The saddest light I've ever seen

You have a way with silence
Beneath your pillow, it lays sheathed
Squeezing the worn leather handle
A smile finds you at midnight and you mouth, "Sweet familiarity."

I think, this time
You forget what's mightier than swords
I hold the ace
And when it shows, I'm killing you with words

You have an eye for the ill-fated
In the mirror, you learn to keep stabbing, keep crying
Keep turning scars into memories until the souls of sinners burn

Don't look, it's me
As bright as the whitest light can be
My world, my rules
One swift erase away from an amputee

Swift erase away
Swift erase away

My world, my rules
My world
My world, my rules

You have a way with light
(You have a way with light)
You make it long for you
(You make it long for you)
Soldier and his devotee
The saddest light I've ever seen
