Jester

Fix your eyes now
They betray innocent intent
Focus your mind now
It is seldom your friend
Steel your heart now
It has not the time to mend
And no one else can say
Which path will lead the way
(Words)
Cold comfort
(Hands)
So distant
(Night)
No refuge from the day

Tell me softly what I never wanted you to say
Show your colour, seven Hells are taking me away

The clouds pass beneath, this bridge at my feet
A rope around my neck, and her voice says "One more step."
I'm not home any more
There's a fist in my throat
I'm not home any more
There's a fist in my throat
And I talk to myself
But it doesn't seem to help me
Found your way in, seeped into my skin
Mercy, don't deny your long lost lonely child
Once more I know for your offer of gold
Will a fool's heart sway no more
For what has gone before?

I asked and I begged but never was I fed
Until all at once (here have it all)
Go eat until you're dead
The misery and rage;
The iron of the cage
It's not enough to scream it
(So go write it on the page)

Don't believe me, I don't know
I'm the Jester watch my show
But know the words I use belong not in my act
(In fact)
I'm a monster, wretched spawn
You'll be better once I'm gone
And then the only way you'll know me
(Is at the light)
Returns to your heart

But with that said you're gone now
I have a chance to finally feel whole again
Breath fills my lungs I've got time to rest
Alive to notice colour pierce the migraine
I'm alive
I'm alive

Fix your eyes now
Focus your mind now
Steel your heart now
Breathe it out now
