Chris Walla - Archer V. Light lyrics

rate me

You are 'Sir', you're a senator<br />

And senator, you were right<br />

It's just a law, not the word, not the law<br />

I'm learning how to speak again<br />

<br />

These words are only structures<br />

When you choose to frame them in<br />

And obviously, the framers would agree<br />

You own a chair and you are not there you noble senator<br />

<br />

Oh, dear sir, I'm a librarian<br />

And while I do not know of law<br />

I know the things that make my stomach pitch and yaw<br />

If I were gavaged on hunger strike<br />

<br />

Wrongly fired upon or sullied blindly by dogs<br />

I'd hate us too and that's why I've cornered you<br />

Roman senator, can you still hear<br />

With all the marks on your ears?<br />

<br />

Face me now<br />

I want to see you break it down<br />

I want to feel our stars colliding<br />

I want to see the sweat pour from your brow<br />

<br />

I'll let it go<br />

You're gonna see me lose control<br />

We do not fight for isolation<br />

Have you seen the injuries?<br />

<br />

I want to see<br />

Your heart of gold again<br />

Your heart of gold<br />

We are kind<br />

<br />

Do you remember that?<br />

I wanna see your pro-life<br />

Bear no exception<br />

You grand, old senator<br />

<br />

Oh, dear sir, I'm a librarian<br />

And I am not always right<br />

But ours is the story<br />

Of the archer and the light
