..As we overlook the truth

Band - The Twilight Sad

Album - Forget the Night Ahead 

Song - The Room

And your face is turning hard
Through the winter
There’s nails in our feet

Hide her
Don’t break her
And we’ll hide her
And we’ll leave

And her blood is never spilled after dinner
There’s wine on our breath

We’ll hide her
Don’t wake her
And we’ll hide her
And we’ll leave

You’re the grandson’s,
You’re the grandson’s toy in the corner
Don’t tell anyone else
You were seen in the cherry tree
Look what you have done

‘Cause you’re a handsome
Just a clever boy on the border
Don’t tell anyone else
And you were seen near the hollow tree
Look what you have done

You’re all on your own
‘Cause you said you failed to care

There’s a message in the card
In your favour
And we’re grinding our teeth

Hide her
Don’t wake her
And we’ll hide her
And we’ll leave

You’re the grandson’s,
Just the grandson’s toy in the corner
Don’t tell anyone else
You were seen in the cherry tree
Look what you have done

‘Cause you’re a handsome
Just a clever boy on the border
Don’t tell anyone else
You were seen near the hollow tree
Look what you have done

You’re all on your own
‘Cause you said you failed to care
Don’t leave your morals there
And you said you failed to care

Did you fall when we dragged her along?
You will never know Thursday’s gone
I called you every name from her son

Did you fall, ‘cause you said you failed to share?
When we dragged her along
You will never know Thursday’s gone
I called you every name from her son

Did you fall, ‘cause you said you failed to care?

“She stood she stood strong she did not run. She remained and while I bowed and ran she just grabbed my hand with a smile on her face as the bombs rained.  

She stood she stared deep in my eyes and said ‘do not be afraid it will be okay’ 

Do not be afraid. 

It was her birthday today and she refused to bow to the smart violence swarming,

I stood & stared in shock & awe at the hope no violence could tame.

Her name is Amal”
