a careless leper
|
too comfortable
|
in his own world
|
to notice the the older wounds
|
have new infections
|
with new intentions
|
darkness settled in behind me
|
tapped me on the shoulder singing
|
shivers to my spine
|
from the corners of my mind
|
"i've been wanting to remind you
|
of everything you've left behind
|
and wouldn't you, shouldn't you
|
remember me
|
should you forget, i haven't yet
|
remember when we...
|
almost stepped right off
|
between the two heavens
|
one above
|
and one below
|
one last flight
|
all stars and city lights
|
one last goodbye
|
one last goodbye..."
|
she's there when i'm alone
|
and she always seems to know
|
the stories that'll take me
|
back to where my comforts sleep
|
a caress with velvet paws
|
that hide her sharpened claws
|
along the walls that time has built high
|
searching for the blemishes
|
and i know she's breathing murder
|
that it is folly to endure her
|
but there is sweetness in her whisper
|
"when you've had enough, i'll be waiting
|
wouldn't you, shouldn't you
|
remember me
|
should you forget, i haven't yet
|
you know that we can always
|
step right off
|
between the two heavens
|
one above
|
and one below
|
one last flight
|
all stars and city lights
|
one last goodbye
|
one last goodbye..."
|
i've never known a life without her
|
at every turn she's there
|
her comfort i despise
|
but there's a coward in me, fearing any
|
changes for the trial
|
hopeless is a hideaway
|
familiar escape
|
i've never known a life without her
|
at every turn, she's there
|
yesterday's a siren
|
singing memories so inviting
|
sometimes reaping takes a lifetime
|
but i'm pushing on, with living life
|
renewed in mind, i say goodbye
|
to yesterday, the siren
|
singing memories so inviting
|
sometimes reaping takes a lifetime
|
but i'm pushing on, with the mind of Christ
|
i say goodbye
|
and watch her die
|
