Lay Down Your Arms

from The Other Side of Midnight by Jonny Polonsky

/

lyrics

Long ago
In a world as black as coal
When time dripped down like honey
Thick and good

Kingdoms of pain
In a land where chaos reigned
All forms of life shot down
Right where they stood

You and I
We could never speak the truth
Suffocated underneath
The caul of youth

As bad for me
As I was bad for you
But I surely never meant to do you harm

Lay down your arms

And now awake
To the sound that morning makes
Praying all new grafts to take
And mend the seams

Without a name
Hesiation, fear or shame
Penetrate the depths
To raise the sunken dream

You and I
We could never speak the truth
Suffocated underneath
The caul of youth

So naive
And so easily seduced
By your block long smile
Your superficial charms

You and I
We could never speak the truth
Suffocated underneath
The caul of youth

Constantly
In search of concrete proof
Tired of grazing through your
Cemetary farms

Lay down your arms
