Forever In Effigy

Dont Touch The Sides

Forever In Effigy


Reading thoughts of solemn speech 
and shaking hands that plague my dreams 
and starting silence i awake to what 
i have come to call my world 
shades of blackness 
threat to break what others never dare to shake 
and now you come to claim 
the colors i profess to see are nothing beautiful 
there's nothing touching about this shade of grey 
since your laughter sounds the same 
no one slows to think that that can change 
when words are rearranged 

Rising from the depths of darkness 
screaming at the dreams of silent sight 
so lets just fade away to nothing 
hoping that we live each moment right 
waking up for the first time 

Liken me to all the poets you can whisper in your sleep 
for i am not forever cursed as you'd expect i'd be 
my hoping's solace would take these open seams and twilight scenes 
and fade to curtain 
cut connect things meant to lay away as 
Shots ring to the sky 
the moon's the doctors light to shine 
the prison bars I find 
are lifted from my state of mind 

(this will do fine) 

With you fingers on my wrist 
and your soft skin in my sight this first time 
and will i love what id imagine you would be 
cling to me 
cling to me
