White Lies

She stares into the mirror
You're fading with the sun
The hollows in her face
Like wishing wells
Scarlet as a papercut
And jeweled as the Orion
She never wore that jewelry as a girl
She says the only thing I've ever found
That's greater than it always sounds
Is love
He stares into the river
Heart falling to the drift
An argument of calls
Moving full steam behind
Bloodshot as a baby
And sulking like a valley
Fishing in reflections, killing time
He says the only thing I've ever found
That's greater than it always sounds
