Hollow Dusk

from Ex​-​Voto by Jamie Barnes

/

lyrics

Come the hollow dusk, eyes and hearts adjust
The dilated iris of a weeping love
Pools that don't reflect, tangled at the neck
Like two swans, swim into the sunset
See them now, crooks and carnivores are closing
Bar the door and hide my ruby heart 'til morning
Itemize what's left and wake the weary dawn
Holding fast, holding fast
Holding fast, holding fast
Dimensions of the room, secrets of the moon
Kept safe in cypher and in whisper
These words of yours and mine, onyx and iodine
They always, always heal what's wounded
Hear them now, crooks and carnivores are closing
Bar the door and guard my ruby heart 'til morning
Catalog what's left and wake the weary dawn
Holding fast, holding fast
Holding fast, holding fast
Come the hollow dusk
Eyes and lives adjust
Widening the view of what's in front of us
