Blood Is Wood

A shattered window,
The boy is back she cried.
He burned the bed he sleeps in
Because we lied to him.
And I don't want to be here
When he comes back
Sweeping up the ashes
Of the bride and groom.
When he comes back
He'll rage against the sky
Because he knows that
Nothing's true.
You've met my uncle
He bares the family's scorn.
And his adopted son in army
Uniform.
To be a part of something
With the family
Burning in the ashes
Of the bride and groom.
When he comes back
He'll rage against the sky
Because he knows that
Nothing's true.
Slashing out the
Eyes of horses
Over fifteen years.
Pushing blindly
Dead on course
The've got him
By his ears.
And the blood's just wood.
So he hides inside.
Like a soldier born
To scorch the sky.
When he comes back
Sweeping up the ashes
Of the bride and groom.
When he comes back
He'll rage against the sky
Because he knows that
Nothing's true.
