Rorschach

i walked from churches out through courtyards and into cities carved from light

and every bishop, queen and lover swore they all could make it right

some wore promises of clover, others sent kisses through the wire

enthralling in their dances but they only last awhile

it's a wonder how the years burn down

children in echo from a sunflower sound

we watch them go out

moving pictures come to windows when you've got lovers in your eyes

don't get tangled in forever

just you learn to make it right

there's a ringing in this silence and it washes over me

whispers promises for white rooms that i should keep

it's a wonder how the years burn down

children in echo from a sunflower sound

we watch them go out

so we cut across our rivers as we chase the dying lights

even a whisper might ring forever

so make it right
