I know exactly when it's you who calls
Because the timing is so absurd
You take time to slow it down to a crawl
Just so you know you're heard
Do you ever wonder how many people fall
Because they hang on to your words?

Hush now,
but don't you dare fall asleep.
Catch the marks on your ceiling
Tread upon by misshapen feet

I warned her, "Stay out of the sun, my dear"
You're kicking up all the dust and the leaves
You shrug your shoulders and hide those tears
The one's that were the clearest to see
I'm sorry if I took away the sun my dear
But you need to be older to believe
Because by then your eyes will be dry and clear
And you'll have blown away before tomorrow's eve
For now in the shadows, I'll hold you near
Before you ruin the sun when you leave.

Though the sun was gone
I still caught glimmers of gold
Painted with your eyes

There is a strangled lullaby
On top of the hollow tree
A cradle shattered and cast aside
You won't hear the crying babies
And the men are sitting on the branches
Singing about how they love the tree
Regardless of its breaking boughs
And the shriveling of its leaves
They're eating all the rotten fruit
That they're trying their best to call sweet
They're kicking at its poisoned roots
Saying it's strong while it shatters at its feet
They're sure they can't hear it breaking
While they're singing the lullaby
So much so they tell the baby to start climbing
And they even tell them they can fly
All the while they can't hear it
As it's all breaking at the base
They're so happy where they sit
But soon, it will all fall into place.
Then there will be nothing left that they can break
A baby can only cry for so long
Till they learn to live and run away
And find a sturdy tree to write a new song

It looked like the moon
As that pale silver crescent
Was rising up so darkly
But there was no sky
When that moon fell down
Eclipsed by unheavenly bodies

He blows out his latern
Cherishing the city lights
How it casts away the cold
He cares not how he burns
Nor the voices of fright
Only the world he painted red and gold.

The flush of your neck
Ripening in the cold
Who knew you'd bloom at the edge of winter
Keep yourself in check
Amongst a crackle of red
You look delicious amongst the cinders
The cleft of your neck
That dip on your shoulder
Deep and dark away from the light
You've left me a wreck
A cup full of red
All ready to bite.

If I may be as I may
Then there would be no other way
If I am as I am
Then there was no other choice

You told me that love
Should transcend even the hours
So here I leave on your stone doorstep
A gift of your favorite flowers
You loved roses for redness,
To match the heart that beats for you
Asters for your loveliness
To match your lips so blue
I took some white lilies
Because I thought you'd like their light
Same with the daisies for your company
I left a sunflower because it's bright
And for your time, I brought a dahlia
For some luck, I brought some heather
And lastly some hemlock
So we can finally be together
