lyrics

I never took a wrong turn if I could, never shot a stray arrow, so naturally all of them were bent. I traveled with a large company most times, guides to point me, guides to support and anoint me, whether I asked, wither I wandered. Meanwhile you learned how to read compasses alone using the stars and performing monologues to inanimate audiences - a shifting deck and plane your norm. Taking directions without prompting, and some in defiance.Living brightly from the start because you could never help it.

Somehow we landed in the same place - wildly different once. Like a bear in Africa. Not really, sort of. I made myself look busy making targets I would never hit while you looked down from your eyrie into my pastoral life - hunting and hitting, and somehow choosing me amongst all the city dwellers. You saw me. And I guess it stuck.

If you knew you'd fire true would you still shoot
If you knew what you'd lose would you even aim
Or would you just keep on fletching arrows

Well you fell from up high and I caught your eye there's only one thing to do
Well your aim is good but you only ever shoot prey and I'm standing so close
We snuck up on eachother - what was it about you, what was it about me?
In the silence of the afterglance you drew the barb back to the haft and shot me straight through
Yeah you shot me straight through - what were you expecting me to do, what could I possibly do?
So I took the arrow shaft and I broke it in half and I handed it back
Yeah I'm giving it back but I'm giving you half, it's a bloodbath
Yeah I'm giving it back but I'm giving you half and I'm stabbing you with that
It's a bloodbath
