Farewell

Well hey gorgeous, what were you hoping?

You crazy, furious waste of blue

Didn't you see the days slipping away,

The thick moist night swallowing you?

 

The time has come, everything has an end.

 

What makes it frightening is shattered and lost

When you forget you're alone. You aren't.

Around, the dance has only just started, unstoppable,

And soon, you’ll see, I'll be holding in your heart, burning it with love.

                                                                                                             

A burst of white heat fills your insides, acid rain running down your skin…

I appreciate your concern, but you won't be cared for ever again.

 

You’re helplessly longing for more time, when it finally strikes you.

You’ve spent your life in your deathbed.

 

And when you leave us here all dried up like summer grass,

We'll send you postcards of the desert in Chicago,

Remembering your mirth, and innocent selflessness,

Applauding how we smoothly drowned you in yourself.

 

You’re so close, yet still believe in your strength as a shield.

Think again, for we breathe that painful sweet-scented air about.

And so do you.

 

You wipe every single grain of dust off of the empty floor.

You'll be safe wherever you are, tiny particles just craving to unite.

It's funny how a few million years can change convictions, so don't worry,

We'll come back here after the dance, to spare us this farewell.
