Union Song

from Paradise by Anthony and the Mountain

/

lyrics

was there ever enough love to hold you in?
keep rattling that cage now, baby
you shoot to win
or was it wound?
was it scar?
was it try to fill in the empty part?
with that old ghost
that perfect union

so what happens if he doesn't come?
who are you if you're never two just one?
could you still gather up the threads
and weave a window in your head?

cause this is ridiculous
you keep pulling this shit
just call it off
you reach for all these shadows in your sleep
don't forget that
someone waits somewhere
but it's your job to hunt them down

what weapon did you draw?
what chill did you bend?
who fell into that shape now baby
that meets your end?
cause in one easy step
you can build a dream
just lie to yourself and
you'll split the seam of love
and that perfect union

so what happens if he doesn't come?
who are you if you're never two just one?
could you still gather up the threads
and weave a window in your head?

cause this is ridiculous
you keep pulling this shit
just call it off
you reach for all these shadows in your sleep
don't forget that
someone waits somewhere
but it's your job to hunt them do
