Broken Arrows

She uses broken arrows to fire at me 
Then says that she sets me free
But her archery is not second place
And she knows how to deface
A wall with her spray paint eyes
And bulletproof disguise
And we’ll never be what we were
Because you cracked the crisp leaf beside her
And stabbed me in the front (only enemies stab you in the back)
Still though your love don’t mean jack
Not now, not anymore
And I’ll always have affection for you, mo stór
But our two by two is now shattered glass
Because you thought he just wanted ass
And so you sought to protect
Me from being a reject
But in seeing me in the lowest terms
I set fire to the hay and it burns
Up all the crackling grass
And she said that this too shall pass
But she’s not the one who has to live through the story
I know she’ll just ignore me
If I try to press my case
So I fall silent in the land gone to waste
And spill it all out onto a page
All my bubbling pain and held back rage
When she’s in the room
I don’t know, you echo the bells of doom
