Arienette Lyrics

    The fragile keep secrets, gathered in pockets, and they will sell them for nothing a cheap watch
    or locket that kind of gold washes off. The sad at like lepers, they stick to the shadows and long
    to ring bells of warning to tell of their coming so that the pure can shut their doors. The angry are
    animals senseless and savage. They act without order in logical lapses, they stain their mouths
    with blood. So take my hand, this barren land is alive tonight. The corn has grown stalks that
    form a wall that hides. The wind carries sounds that I can't see from beyond that line. Then the
    stalks begin to sway oh stay with me Arienette until the wolves are away. The wicked are
    vultures, they bake in the canyons. They circle in sunlight and wait for their victims to collapse
    and call to them. The desperate are water. They will run down forever and soak into silence to
    just end up together in some dark and distant place. So don't leave me here with only mirrors
    watching me. This house it holds nothing but the memories. And the moon it leaves silver but
    never sleep. And then the silver turns to gray so stay with me Arienette until the wolves are away.
