Dry The River - Husk lyrics

You were brave as a chessboard queen But the shoe didn’t fit your feet Cover the mouth of the Earth’s great cough You can’t always get what you want So you lie in the driveway snow 'Til you’re white as a bed sheet ghost Bathed in the light of a star long dead No one can tell how it ends If you’re blind to love Why don't you say it, love? It doesn’t amount to much You're a grail without the blood If you’re blind to me Why do you say you see? Shouldn’t it always be Clear to us? Did you carve out a place in the world? Were your white little bones of a bird Crushed like a husk in the Great Deceiver's mouth? I hope it’s all working out Cause if you’re blind to love You shouldn’t try to love It doesn’t amount to much You're a holy with no ghost And if you’re blind to me Why do you try to see? Shouldn’t it always be Obvious? Proud like a hunter with a bow Cowed like a prisoner below I don’t sleep so well I woke up here on the crowded seats of a bus I was a husk
