“ | The storied past, tangling you six feet under now and forever, putting Thorns In You so no one sees. | ” |
Thorns in You (also stylized as Thorns In You) is an Arknights song acting as the leitmotif of Texas the Omertosa, performed by the African-American jazz singer Aretha Scruggs.
Lyrics[]
There's a threshold you cross
when the book
starts to turn.
It's a rook
cheating your present of peace.
Stories rewrite,
stars flee the night.
Judging the cover by look.
There's a dusty old line
in the sand
blown to bits
by my past,
no longer tempting the muse.
People can change...
...a promise I made.
Flight over fight, I'll refuse.
Give and take
the ties that you break.
Why, you can't say.
You don't think that way.
Come and go,
no longer abide.
Blood on your hands won't do.
Judge not, the thorns in you.
At the end of the road
in the dark,
lies in wait
like a shark.
Teasing temptation and greed,
narrow my focus,
staying my course
not for lust, only to feed.
Give and take
the ties that you break.
Why, you can't say.
You don't think that way.
Come and go,
no longer abide.
Blood on your hands won't do.
Judge not, the thorns in you.
