Crossfire

Sun goes black
With every rise and fall I understand me a little more
Narrowed eyes for the attack
Letting my blood slow down before we begin the war

Premeditate with me
Plan your way around the fight until all paths lead to me
Take another liberty, ah, take another
Till you've taken everything

If I asked you for your shelter, would you let the Earth flood?
Bring your terror down like rain until you fear what you've become?
Singing ah while their voices drown away
If it's me and you against it all, then baby, I am here to stay

We're pulling on the arrow, keeping steady, 'fore it drives into my chest
Staring deep into the archer's eyes with harrowing last breaths
I'm pouring all my energy into a final soul soliloquy
I love the way you balance me we're face to face till death

Star-crossed, caught in the crossfire
Severed to the core, never asking why
Freefalling into the fallout
With every wound, we're more alive

If I asked you for your shelter, would you let the Earth flood?
Bring your terror down like rain until you fear what you've become?
Singing ah while their voices drown away
If it's me and you against it all, then baby, I am here to stay

(Plan your way around the fight until all paths lead to me, lead to me)
