Melody Maker

Melody maker won't you please?
Come and make a melody out of me?

This world's complexities
Got me drowning, got me running, got me lost
Won't someone help me please?
I've been down and I've been grinding to a halt

And it's coming down to memory or madness now
Nature flows, it don't sit still, can be so cruel
The moon still listens to the howling of the wolves
They've found their place in time, I'm still searching for mine

Melody maker won't you please?
Won't you come and make a melody out of me?
Can't you see I'm not meant to live and breathe?
I'm only meant to make the sounds that are meant to set you free.

My mind's perplexing me
Getting lazy, getting jealous, thinking fog
My body weighs on me
So distracted with my image switch lights off

And it's coming down to memory or madness now
History repeats itself
On the top shelf lies a book of rules that i have not worked out
You've found your place in time, I'm still searching for mine

Melody maker won't you please?
Won't you come and make a melody out of me?
Can't you see I'm not meant to live and breathe?
I'm only meant to make the sounds that are meant to set you free.
So Melody maker won't you please?
Won't you come and make a melody out of me?
I'll put on the makeup if you can promise me
There'll be a burning effigy of me for everyone to see
Long after I can only sleep

This body's burned and broken
A shell the ghosts made home in
I'm giving you all of it, take it away
Make me a melody you want to play
And now the bell is tolling
I feel the cadence growing
I'm floating on resonance, dancing through staves
I'm living in melody

Melody maker won't you please?
Won't you come and make a melody out of me?
Can't you see I'm not meant to live and breathe?
I'm only meant to make the sounds that are meant to set you free.
Melody maker won't you please?
Won't you come and make a melody out of me?
I'll put on the makeup if you can promise me
There'll be a burning effigy of me for everyone to see
Long after I can only sleep
