All That Glitters

from Ribbons & Shards by Watchfires

/

lyrics

Painted cheekbones, Sunday best. A new world warrior poured into a dress. She charts territories and tames the highest seas. All to set her hands on all that she can reach.

Each adventure leaves a scar. Each name written in the creases and the marks. She spends every night like morning will not come. When it does she’ll have to clean everything she has touched.

She held the remains in her arms. The ribbons and shards she collected. She said “I know... I gather up more than I can hold”. She said “I know... but all that glitters could be gold”.

All the treasures that she claimed. Rusted quietly underneath the rain. A silver crucifix pressed against her throat. Guards herself against the guilt certain and slow.
