Mustard Gas Heart

from River Pool Lunar Park by The Mara

lyrics

Morning will find you
Wherever you are
Mustard gas heart
Erases a hope too far

But all your dreams aren't falling through
An acid spot of sunlight next to you
I needed/need it to(o)

Forget about you
A second a day
Mustard gas heart
A yellow ageing lung stain

While everyone else will stay

You're counting seeds
The dirt is loose by the pepper tree
Where you made him laugh
At the foot of the stairs
The last one there
I was the last one there

I'll protest my innocence
And let the claymore fall
Not thinking what you're feeling
Or what you're saying
He sits upon a winged beast
Instructions to protect
Oh it's in my mind
I know he's fine
But I just can't forget

I know that I don't
Believe it enough
To make you see that
I would sever stars

And set them in their place

Around your shirt
And plant your flag in the ashen dirt
I knew that I would just get hurt
But I fell long and I fell hard
And now you've smiled into the dark
And I can sit and finally fix my

Mustard gas heart
I've got a mustard gas heart
