Pieces Lyrics - The Place We Ran From - Tired Pony

I see her from the deep garden 

And her hair is soaking wet 

The bedroom light is flickering 

To the pounding of your heart 

Close your eyes and count to ten 

When they open you're asleep 

Slow your breathing down to meet 

All the shadows and the ghosts 

Pieces of your heart collapse 

To the sound of beating drums 

You can't contain it anymore 

So just let the madness come 

There's something in the way she moves 

That just terrorizes you 

You try to piece confusing clues 

Together in your head 

I see you there, shining like a beacon 

Fabric tears, my love burns for you 

The end of me is in there with you right now 

Car engine, still too hot to touch 

You're married to her in your mind 

And she loves you like a son 

Yearning for a place in time 

And a home to call your own 

It smashed into you hard enough 

That you will not soon forget 

He wants her like a sword and shield 

And he wants her here and now 

I see you there, you are my only empire 

I call your name but it becomes the wind 

A sudden lurch, a quickening of footfalls 

A bible held above me like an axe
