Faces in Grey Altars

A Boy With Roses

Nobody knows my name
I am a blue shadow 
A pamphlet of another sea
Flying at half mast 
Tides heal me while I sway
Ersatz wisdom dissipates
And your words pierce through me 
Like the stasis of seasons
Encoded in remote fountains

Living is harder said than done
When everything is going wrong
And I'm running out of daydreams
And you won't let me explain echoing
Visions of weekend crimes 

I am not your brother
My lover

Gone, Lee Harvey Oswald
Laying in clean sheets
Made out of autumn foliage 

Moonlight, ignite my bones
Take my breath
As I follow endless suns
And stray from the path
Find my way back home
Neatly tucked back in
I've lost everything I've ever loved
I've lost everything I've ever known
And still
And still 

Nobody knows my name
I am a blue shadow 
A pamphlet of another sea
Flying at half mast 
Tides heal me while I sway
Ersatz wisdom dissipates
And your words pierce through me 
Like the stasis of seasons
Encoded in remote fountains.
