the bitter twist

Your grief is my grief now
My joy is balled up in your fist
Your face is carved from stone
Sun-kissed and blessed with a subtle symmetry

I have aged in a bitter twist
I haven't missed my chance but I dance around it
Left here with memories
Full of holes where hows and whys should be

So open up those vacant eyes and have a look at me
I've finally finished with my efforts to revive
They left me reckless and feckless
And I suppose your psychosis is contagious
But it keeps my shoulders strong

Your ghost is my cross now
I bear it though I don't believe
It wouldn't be the first time
I sold myself for a few moments of peace

I have aged in a bitter twist
I haven't missed my chance but I dance around it
You will bring out the worst in me
And that is all I ask of you

Or maybe I'll take the black
Like Jon Snow and Johnny Cash
And walk this road alone
Dragging around this heart of stone

So open up those vacant eyes and let me look at you
Let me look at you one more time
