Lyrics Everything You Love - Eskimeaux

Your little nails, bitten back and snarling
Speak volumes upon volumes, my darling
Out of reach of the light of day
In a veil of dirty lace
With a heart made of wood and a bruise on your face
You were given a choice between fire and ice
I can see you now, clear as a bell
With your arms full of thorns and your heart like a well
Holding your arms clenched to your chest
A song in your throat and a tongue at rest
Your eyes are searching boldly
For a stronger one to hold you
A softer bed to warm you
For every man to swarm you
But if you could just wait patiently
I can see him standing in front of me
So fold your arms to your chest
A song in your throat and a tongue at rest
But everything you love with leave, at best
For until you're alone you will know no rest
I still see you standing so solemn and cold
In a white dress and blindfold, knee deep in the snow
With the birch trees just like swords
Touching the sky in a silent horde
Like an army of your past strifes
Frozen for a lifetime
I can see you now, clear as a bell
With your arms full of thorns and your heart like a well
Folding your arms clenched to your chest
But everything you love with leave, at best
But everything you love with leave, at best
For until you're alone you will know no rest
