Rush – Armor and Sword
Audio Published on December 26, 2014
Lyrics
The snakes and arrows a child is heir to
are enough to leave a thousand cuts.
We build our defenses, a place of safety
and leave the darker places unexplored.
Sometimes the fortress is too strong
or the love is too weak.
What should have been our armor
becomes a sharp and angry sword.
Our better natures seek elevation;
a refuge for the coming night.
No one gets to their heaven without a fight.
We hold beliefs as a consolation;
a way to take us out of ourselves.
Meditation, or ... See More
are enough to leave a thousand cuts.
We build our defenses, a place of safety
and leave the darker places unexplored.
Sometimes the fortress is too strong
or the love is too weak.
What should have been our armor
becomes a sharp and angry sword.
Our better natures seek elevation;
a refuge for the coming night.
No one gets to their heaven without a fight.
We hold beliefs as a consolation;
a way to take us out of ourselves.
Meditation, or ... See More
