Say Not A Word

Planes Mistaken For Stars


I stared you down so hard I burnt your shadow to the wall 
and through the haze you served a slow pull from grace 
at a drunken pace 
I've nothing to sell you, nothing to trade 
what would you have me give? what would you let me take? 
let fall past your lips a siren's kiss 
to temper the crash of dawn 
sister sing along "twilight be sweet" 
come tomorrow of this place we cannot speak 
and come tomorrow these sins we share, we two shall keep 
oh twilight be sweet 
pull the blinds, put my back to the door 
say not a word, sister, split down on me 
kill the lights, drag me to the floor 
say not a word, sister, split down on me
