Multi-Bottle Rocket Iris Bilinsky

[Chorus]
My quiver is nearly empty
My forefingers calloused, but softly
That day that we switched off the heater
And we turned on the fan

[Verse]
We sat waiting with older couples
On three TVs, we saw the rubble
Of our town, not far down the river
And then we ate our Italian food

You hurled yourself just like you always do
I just felt lucky to be anywhere with you
Please burden me with something more than death
Oh, you think I'm scared of the hollow threats that you said
Vanquish the brilliant lights swirling 12 feet high
Falling embers almost caught the trees on fire

I hear voices in the wind
The window will not let them in
It’s just the ancients passing by
They live beside us and in every word we write
But we will argue about the details

[Chorus]
My quiver is nearly empty
Now I clutch it close to my body
Just in case someone tries to stop me
I'll hold it 'till I’m dying
