Reckless

My love, I am the speed of sound,
I left the motherless, fatherless,
These souls dangling inside out from their mouths,
But it's never enough.

I want you.

Carved your name across three countries,
Grounded in with bloody tides,
Their broken necks will line the ditch,
'Til you stop it.

Stop this madness,
I want you.

I have waited, with a glacier's patience,
Smashed every transformer with ever trailer,
'Til nothing was standing, 65 miles wide.

Still you were nowhere,
Nowhere in sight.

Come out to meet me,
You came out to greet me,
Come into the light.

Come the box cars,
Through the engines,
To the smoke,
Into the sky,
Your days have always outrun mine,
So I.

Pick them up,
And crash them down,
In a moment close to now,
Cause I miss..

How'd you sigh yourself to sleep,
When I break the springtime across your sheets.

My love, I'm an owl on the sill in the evening,
But morning finds you, still warm and breathing.

This tornado loves you.
