Pinned and Needled

Wind me down and set the wings aside
Glitter-caked in fairy tale we hide
Lost you once and dreamed you every night
Resurrect, repent, and set it right

Move the house and decorate my face
Ring you up to predicate our grace
Come to bed and study my defeat
Only you could stitch me so complete

Pinned and needled in your arms
Dress your wounds and shine your charms
Talisman to spare you harm
Pinned and needled in your arms

Paint your eyes and find my other ring
Raining down your blood and stars all sing
Born out there and improvising home
Raised, redeemed, reclaimed, and not alone

Pinned and needled in your arms
All forgiven with your charms
No more past to serve us harm
Pinned and needled in your arms

Wind me down and set the wings aside
Glitter-caked in fairy tale we hide
Come to bed and study my defeat
Only you could stitch me so complete

(Lyrics by Amber Bird, Music by Varnish)
