To douse a scalded tongue

Yaelokre

Must I look below

Mildewy timbers?

Staves my feet

Are perched on (Ooh)

Able to bear my weight with no protest

And yet I am

To tumble down

 

Dare me to flood what is already drowning

Shoot him whose heart you can already see

She who refuses to peek through the curtains

The children are angry as they should be

 

Down to where I can hear them

"Glory thy stillness"

Was a verse mistaken

By disfavored ones

Like you

Oh-ha-oh-ha

Oh-ha-oh-ha-ha

 

To douse a scalded tongue

Incanted herd and flock

In places the lark haven't carolled heretofore

 

From faults, to favors, failures and the truth

From faults, to favors, failures and the truth

From faults, to favors, failures and the truth

That love alone-

Love alone isn't enough

From faults, to favors, failures and the truth

From faults, to favors, failures and the truth

From faults, to favors, failures and the truth

That love alone-

Love alone isn't enough
