Consider my dues paid
Brewed with freedom
Pain melancholy
Intricately woven in
With a severe lack of care
I somehow guessed
We would part ways
Finally

Finding myself
With no keeper
No doors closed
I sway
Move into the night
With fervor
For what lies ahead
The delicate instruments
Grinding
Stowing away
The secrets kept
From the surrounding cities
Turmoil
Building up
Releasing an uplift of spirits
I could hardly imagine

I want to believe
I will find home

I never thought you would pray
For things to stay the same
So now you will lay
With your guilt
And never say
The song is complete
Listen
Hear each refrain
They go quietly
And without much shame
Never know
Never show
Never ever grow
Stay the same
Carved in the tree is your name
Without me
Once again
You will not win
Try as you may

Only one more time
And you will be sane
Only two more times
And you will gain
Never knowing
Never wanting
But always made
Now is the time for the weak
As Frost said
Promises to keep
Trench along till you sleep
Many souls lost
None that weep

How I feel
Slicing through the pain
The swine and the game
Knowing the worry of disdain
The nights long
And filled with pain
Killing many lovers with my name
Holding each other tight
With chains
Now
Onto the change

Fulfill
And wait for those
Who do not keep friends long
Or drench their cruelty
With the malice
Held tightly behind their teeth
Keep close for now
And the silence may guide you
After all this time
The sea swept away everything else
Ounces of stupor born from a bottle
And the weight thereof
Made gold
By wisdom far away
