So long my misery
|
I don't need you, you've only caused me grief
|
Forgive me if I fall asleep
|
I haven't slept in centuries
|
|
Daylight lives like a burden for me
|
So I escape the sennit strewn about the street
|
Beyond the ruins of my ancestry
|
Far past the pages of my disbelief
|
I rose from my moat, like a ghost from a grave
|
Sunken in the salty eyes of the wanderin' displaced
|
I was headed through the mists across the golden gate
|
All of my rebellions fall into the fog of fate
|
|
So long my misery
|
I don't need you, you've only caused me grief
|
Forgive me if I fall asleep
|
I haven't slept in centuries
|
|
Springtime came again and Icarus fell
|
I flew past the numb-lipped nuns who never tell
|
The secrets of the sailors and their seven year spell
|
I will not fall nor will my wings ever melt
|
If I could I would wash all these wounds away
|
I would surround your room with sentiments of grace
|
I would paint your portrait over everything mundane
|
More colorful than Easter Sunday
|
|
So long my misery.
|
I don't need you, you've only caused me grief
|
Forgive me if I fall asleep
|
I haven't slept in centuries
|
|
Put me on a boat, leave my inhibitions at bay
|
My mind is spilling but I haven't much to say
|
I was running through the canyons towards the echoes of your name
|
You were laughing at me like sun laughs at a flame
|
Put me on a page in a book of beginnings
|
Let me scroll through old volumes of ancient teachings
|
Let me revel in all of these forgotten feelings
|
Lay me with the wretched in the arms of my queen
|
|
So long sweet misery
|
I don't need you, you've only caused me grief
|
Forgive me if I fall asleep
|
I haven't slept in centuries
|
|
So long sweet misery
|
I don't need you, you've only caused me grief
|
Forgive me if I fall asleep
|
I haven't slept in centuries.
|
No, I haven't slept in centuries.
|
I haven't slept in centuries
