Iron Chandelier

the skies of a new world waiting
slowly sayin your name.
the hospital was lovely
but ive spent my time in nicer beds.

belittling the offering
and wondering aloud,
i caved into the public
and grew anxious from the crowd

fallin over everything,
my knees giving in,
i asked for mostly nothin
but forgiveness from my sins

and i still believe in the old iron chandelier
left hanging over mary's dining room
conquering the shadows on the carpet
where it's obvious the flowers never die

in the light
of the iron chandelier

the eyes of the old world closing
and just barely awake.
she traveled the cold tile floor
in her naked feet.

reiterate the offering
and show me you're proud,
i caved into the car
and slowly drifted with the crowd

dreaming through the everything
and yielding with your touch
i watched your eyes freezing
and deciding it's too much

robin was awoken by the light,
robin was awoken and surrounded by the light

by the light
of the iron chandelier
