Amor Fati

During the night someone changed the pavement stones
The street you live on was renamed
The neighbour down the road, you've known for years
Yet strangely, in some way, he looks different today

Tucked in your backpack, this month's obsession
Lies ignored, as you walk through the crowd
Some loaded memory dances like Salome
But you'll hold your ground, knives out, without a sound

The chain around your neck was your best friend
Slain by your own hand, at your feet
So keep on singing little bird
There is no escape
There is no fate
No better way to be
Than silent rain

Forgotten embers, what you called your home
Your vampire lovers have gone to other victims
What shall sustain you, now the golden calf is broken
If your photographs are empty, oh who shall be your judge?

You and your pocket watch are ageing together
Best companions and enemies in one
Naked you stand before the coming tide
As another iteration of the world is set alight

The chain around your neck was your best friend
Slain by your own hand, at your feet
So keep on singing little bird
There is no escape
There is no fate
No better way to be
Than silent rain
