AWAITING FUNERAL WINDS

All that crawls through the night

Not taken for themselves

There arises a drifting slumber

Through vanity’s paper shell

I have seen a thousand yous

Dancing in a happy place

But through the gloss you feel the loss

A dance with fear you chase

Smile now, your morning sun

Time will change the pace

All is not so happy now

Another case to alter state

Let fun hold the reigns

Loud music fills the soul

With selfish wills and sinking ships

They’re buried in their holes

Never wanting to part with you

We have become as one

Hold my hand, fear understands

The chance that I’ve been used

Smile now, your morning sun

Rises in a different place

All is not so happy now

Another case to alter state

I kissed you on the roof in the rain

With a grip that felt like chains

Free and I ran my fingers through your hair

Seven fucks and it seemed like fifteen years

Living in my past, a prisoner to these years

Smile now, your morning sun

Rises in a different place

All is not so happy now

Another case to alter state
