Buried here alive in a blue sky
How could I forget, the breath of moments passed
I can see it now, fogged on cracking crowns
Further funneling the years back down
They are cradled, mystified, in a slow sun
Dazzled by demise, the fabrics our souls spun
I have seen them here, shake like chandeliers
Bodies blurred when wishes come undone
What was I saying?
How is it clear?
Your words sang in my mind through all the good times
Enough’s enough
The sounding brass, released to fill my dream
But only in the dream I’m told to stay here
Erupt, from mountains crass, invariant defeat
Only in a lifeless kind of sleep
The rain, like shattered glass
Splinter in these eyes, but only in the eyes I see the strain here
Malaise, in silent speech, beneath the shift in keys
Only in a lifeless kind of sleep
