Whittled Thrones

from Whittled Thrones EP by Autumn Burnett

lyrics

Brother of mine, you would have loved it here tonight.
There was whiskey and wine and music and mountains of time,
Time to build a bridge and head on back
To days when all your roads were clean

Darling don't you wonder why diaphanous eyes haunt your sleep?
They aren't cynics run dry, but angels born from the sea.
They are someone watching over you,
And their waters will soak you through

Don't tie your strings to a puppeteer you don't know
He's got a mind of paper and hands of oil and woe
He will rip apart your golden seams
When he finds out where you've been

And I believe the pastures of heaven are green,
And one day we'll make it up north, just you and me
We will build a castle out of stone
And carve love into our whittled thrones
Build a castle out of stone
And carve love into our whittled thrones

I'm afraid of wolves of chrome
I have seen them burn your whittled throne
I will learn that blight is not won
I'll find grace in the window's setting sun
