Hyacinth
I kept incarcerating my dreams of time and placement
Trying to keep to my own road
I was held to standards high enough to drown me
It doused the light in my own eyes
I sung a different song then
One of grief and madness
Screaming death was at my door
My grizzled hands have felt the death of man and creature
Broken spines and twisted minds
They say I'm a different man now
One of careful sadness
One that bleeds into the earth
My heart's a different shade now
Black as tar and mallow
As my life comes upon an end
I sing a different song now
One of tears and hollow
Veins that could be filled again
My heart's out of commission
A long broken life will do that
But I think it could be whole again
But do I have time for that now
To rebuild a life from ashes
From glassy eyes and blackened minds
I think my time is over
It's time to step aside now
To let my life take its toll
When I say goodbye I long for peace and closure
A recompense to hold close
A time and place to speak my mind
When I say goodbye I'll know my time and placement
A lifelong emancipation
A way to care for my own life
Cause I never did before I heard your story
Of songs and tales of healing
Of how a soul can be reborn
So I'll sing a different song then
One of grace and mercy
A song to fill the void I'm in
My time's been up for ages
So I'll live these last few moments
As boy who just gained his sight
So I say goodbye
Trying to keep to my own road
I was held to standards high enough to drown me
It doused the light in my own eyes
I sung a different song then
One of grief and madness
Screaming death was at my door
My grizzled hands have felt the death of man and creature
Broken spines and twisted minds
They say I'm a different man now
One of careful sadness
One that bleeds into the earth
My heart's a different shade now
Black as tar and mallow
As my life comes upon an end
I sing a different song now
One of tears and hollow
Veins that could be filled again
My heart's out of commission
A long broken life will do that
But I think it could be whole again
But do I have time for that now
To rebuild a life from ashes
From glassy eyes and blackened minds
I think my time is over
It's time to step aside now
To let my life take its toll
When I say goodbye I long for peace and closure
A recompense to hold close
A time and place to speak my mind
When I say goodbye I'll know my time and placement
A lifelong emancipation
A way to care for my own life
Cause I never did before I heard your story
Of songs and tales of healing
Of how a soul can be reborn
So I'll sing a different song then
One of grace and mercy
A song to fill the void I'm in
My time's been up for ages
So I'll live these last few moments
As boy who just gained his sight
So I say goodbye
