A Sleep: The Owl Makes His Offer Song Lyrics
A Sleep: The Owl Makes His Offer by Sarah and the Safe Word [Verse]
Quiet whispers ring from a house that sits on Fifteenth Street
An open windowed prayer to the night where flock and feather meet
And she knows the cost, lettered out in amber light
Signals of a seance help her wounded hands take flight
If you asked her she would lie, say she was happy where she was
But even charlatans and rooks could see the distance that she longs
So, two feet on the sill
Fifty feet towards the night
Quiet crests of northern air hung by streetlights and the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
In a pattеrn pleated bold
I didn't know the furiеd flare of fire until I met you
But now I've met you and I
Do I have the strength?
Or is it just your words calling me out
Because now I feel you
Now I feel you and I
[Chorus]
And the owl well he flies in the night and says
"Violet, don't be silent"
[Verse]
Piece by piece, bones can break
People break and so can I
But I need the sky to
Stay alive inside you
Manifested black eyes, distant cries inside the night like beacon lights
Hollowed out insides
They help me come to life
[Chorus]
And the owl well he flies in the night and says
"Violet, don’t be silent"
'Cause your bones will bend to the sound of your dreams
"Violet, don’t be silent"
[?]
[Chorus]
And the owl well he flies in the night and says
"Violet, don’t be silent"
'Cause your bones will ber
Strigiformes
Several years of sorrow without breathing
Mourn the dead
The lamps are out of midnight oil
Lost lovers and lost friends
Now, the jury's hung
No kingdom come
Sold bones to pay the rent
Let us gather 'round the fire once more and sing
Sing while light is left
Several years of sorrow without breathing
Mourn the dead
The lamps are out of midnight oil
Lost lovers and lost friends
Now, the jury's hung
No kingdom come
Sold bones to pay the rent
Let us gather 'round the fire once more and sing
Sing while light is left
