Wade through the black smoke
Wade through the silent darkness
And draw the curtains of impossible hope
To reveal a burnished world
Glittering in the celestial light of a new day
I unravel from the ribbons of life and I\'m stoic
Cutting myself from my ruptured wings
In the flames of humid decay
I get my hands dirty and shower myself clean
Falling into treacherous seas
Tears illuminate in blue light
Creating rivers which flow through my heart
All those books we loved dearly
Words simmering on forgotten pages
Are just old friends fading from memory
In the echoing dark
Time is all that we ever needed
Shadowboxing through the ages
We rise from Caesar\'s fire and tote the burden
But nothing can dispel the weight of the anchor
The birdcage of the Muses macerate in a simple blink
Divine honey for the gods, we pick ripe cherries in the wind
And pray for the intractable mind when it\'s alone
This trajectory of darkness leads us to endless suffering
And we know, love is impossible
You love someone and you hate them
So equally compelled, you give up when you\'re holding on
Torn between life and death
The sun and the moon, that midnight feast
I dangle from the allusion of reality in this chrysalis
In plumes of black smoke, I sit on my throne of ivory and bones
Loving you, loving you.
