The Blood & The Bones

When we were young
we tried to love
I bit my tongue
You stayed too long
And when you ran
Parts of me
You stole away
What I could not keep

When you were gone
The tempest came
And just like a storm
It always rained
The hole too deep
I could not dig
These muddy walls
Pulled me back in

When we are older
That’s what you said
We’ll be free
Before we’re dead
Our time is then
Your time is now
So, I let you go
And you let me down

When we are older
You’ll find a way
You’ll seek me out
And then you’ll stay
So now I wait
So now I bleed
But when we are older
Where will I be?
