The Kraken

finally its dark enough to see it
dark enough for me
to finally see it right
in the moonlight

i know what i have to finally do now
just the cherry i needed to screw this up
we dont need love

i was nothing but an invitation
preformance, gore and glamour, valour and a life
id made all mine
let you breeze away like crimson silk i
look and see the tentacles among the waves
like the old days
i can barely feel much it hurts now
all i feel is clarity
it all makes sense
i shouldve guessed
i could never keep you in my arms forever
youd slip out and then youd swim away
like today
did you ask yourself
why the hell am i about to do this
well it doesnt matter now
screw this

keep the useful ones
get rid of the rest
just send em off
like a hoard of pests
you wanted me around
congratulations here i stay
we have a brand new management
its tighter now can you manage that?
the devil on my right
and someone worse is on his left
get to back to work
and grab me a drink
you think me mad
no asked you to think
spent years admiring from afar
now watch me do a trick
ill take the man you got to know
ill string him up, a splendid show
you wonder whos to die
well its no ones fault except my own
he wasnt enough i understand
he has to a different man
a man enforcing violence
on each memory of him
the bitch is back
and better than
any former, any gentleman
we share our feelings on this ship
well can you guess the way im feeling

i miss him
my lighthouse
i never knew
a person could feel like home

was homesick
my lighthouse
i didnt think i
could feel more alone
