Tether

Shadow waits to strike
Let’s keep it in the daylight
Fall in love again
Heart out in the headlights

Feeling vein inside
Enough to start a fight
A test of metal or
A feather in full flight

One wound for another
Spreading scars like sickness in the air
Tethered and torn by the pain we wear
I don’t want to wake up
No I don’t want to let you down
It’s looking like a warning sign
Every time the morning comes

In my stead I wait
Thursday night was just a game
You can call again
I’ve got ammo to defend

Was it fear or faith?
When all this did begin
It’s all over now
We’re too callous to contend
