lyrics

Evening come,

burning, burning,

quietly, strong,

I am not what I once was,

hurtling skyward,

frosted frowns,

they hold weakly when the wind blows,

she is winter bound..

told to be somewhere when the means might meet,

I am higher,

I am higher,

I will wait indefinitely,

will you wait with me?

will you wait too?

begging for forgiveness,

and hardly hoping that you might acknowledge that I am even here,

the fear of falling watches over me,

violence is an afterthought,

and tiredness is ecstasy,

a futile attempt to recapture something else,

“..shrouded in a mist”, she said,

and lifted with the grace and elegance of one hundred thousand clouds spilling rain across the continents,

chaos is in everything,

beauty is constructed,

apathy is privilege,

transport is disrupted,

the weight of the world watching over me,

desperate for change,

the same way it ever was,

and forevermore the same,

eternally explicit, and expertly sown,

the riches held in hedonism,

permanently closed,

if not for something better,

then for what?

he was not there..
