Quiet Giant

The Seduction Of Eve

Emma Langford The Seduction Of Eve - Quiet Giant
공유하기
The first night in a drunken haze
we got lost in the crowd
two spies beyond
the others' lines invading
you promised to be on my side,
you swore your life for mine
my insurance as
I watched my bulwark fading

And I surrendered
all too quickly to a man
of many names
Who had plotted excavations
where my thoughts were
And I wondered now and then
if things would
ever be the same
Or if anything remained
beyond the water

We sat upon a fallen tree
one sunny afternoon
side by side, silent, surveying
a patch of no mans land
And gazing at the wreckage,
said the war would
wind up soon
And the thoughts
of my lost brothers
he made silent with his hands

And I surrendered all too quickly
to a man of many names
Who had plotted excavations
where my thoughts were
And I wondered now and then
if things would ever be the same
Or if anything remained
beyond the water

I asked you once in confidence
to never leave me be
You made me swear
I knew us to be better
Than my every
self-destructive fear,
my insecurities
And we shook on that
and turned and watched
the weather change

And I surrendered much
too quickly to a man
of many names
Who had held me ever since
I can remember
And I wondered now and then
if I would ever feel the same
Or vanish onward
with the season come December

So I wonder did you ever
really care that much to me?
Was it all another epic
you were writing?
Another chapter to write down
and then scratch out
before they'd see
the heart beneath
the hardy buck there hiding?

So I don't care that
much these days for who
it is that you became,
I never held him,
so I hold him no ill feelings
But I wonder now and then
if things just
might've been the same
If I were happy never
to break that glass ceiling

And I don't mind,
no I don't mind
I'm just trying to find
my piece of mind.
