lyrics

I looked down the other path for some time
A bitter longing crushed the air from my chest
I watched him sit enshrined in rotting concrete
Dead skin sloughs off like falling leaves in a warm autumn rain

While wind howls in empty windowpanes
And ambiguous hopes leak past the walls of sleep but there is ecstasy in certainty

Perception hangs suspended on a reaching frame
The only parts of me that touch this place are thin and far away
I don’t want to be hollow anymore just tissue clinging to brittle remains
While tired bones turn to stains on the aged cement

The well is running dry
The black ink scabbing over and clotting on the brush that no longer weeps with the page

All the things I shared in common with this world
Will continue when I’m gone
But with one less imperfection to mar its grim indifference
And my blood will seep into the rising tide

Each perfect symphonie born of human mind could not move me to forgive
These naked apes, these greedy mouths, these teeming seas
Silent marching of microbes grown invincible through adversity
Will turn your organs out upon the fallow earth in a bloody tide
Climbing mountains of burning books lungs choking, black and tarred
The scourge of the sun, the boiling oceans, will wipe you clean will be a mercy
Scoured from this rock into the black embrace of empty space
This is only a kindness

All the things I shared in common with this world
Will continue when I’m gone
But with one less imperfection to mar its grim indifference
And my blood will seep into the rising tide
All the things I wanted to share with this world
Could be found in any other lonely heart
But without the needs of a seedling beaten down by a raging gale
Or washed away in the rising tide
