Old Alchemy
My head's an alchemic furnace
That's been used to break down
The silver of the soul to gold
Now it's been so long
It only turns my heart's
Sadness to wet coal
I am of old alchemy
The sickness of the mind
I'm chemically inclined to be
Walking on the line
Between two worlds
Of laughter, brightness
Thoughts so kind
Fighting shadows of the clouded Darkened mind
That merge in this alchemic bind
It burned so bright
Now I feel so low
Deathly rivers in my veins
That flow
Arsenic has taken to my stream
Poisoning my very being
I am of old alchemy
The sickness of the mind
I'm chemically inclined to be
Walking on the line
Between two worlds
Of laughter, brightness
Thoughts so kind
Fighting shadows of the clouded Darkened mind
That merge in this alchemic bind
My old alchemic furnace
With soiled pipes belly so cold
Where is the fire
Your flames, your coal
The warmth you were given
Simply because it was so
Beautifully birthed as any
And every being
To walk this earth
So worthy and twisted
The hurt took its toll
Burn my love again
Swaddle me up and tight
With my furnace's shining light
Keep me warm from thoughts that
Suffocate my breath tight
Of shadows that want to
Drown and desert me
In my fatal indolence
This night
That's been used to break down
The silver of the soul to gold
Now it's been so long
It only turns my heart's
Sadness to wet coal
I am of old alchemy
The sickness of the mind
I'm chemically inclined to be
Walking on the line
Between two worlds
Of laughter, brightness
Thoughts so kind
Fighting shadows of the clouded Darkened mind
That merge in this alchemic bind
It burned so bright
Now I feel so low
Deathly rivers in my veins
That flow
Arsenic has taken to my stream
Poisoning my very being
I am of old alchemy
The sickness of the mind
I'm chemically inclined to be
Walking on the line
Between two worlds
Of laughter, brightness
Thoughts so kind
Fighting shadows of the clouded Darkened mind
That merge in this alchemic bind
My old alchemic furnace
With soiled pipes belly so cold
Where is the fire
Your flames, your coal
The warmth you were given
Simply because it was so
Beautifully birthed as any
And every being
To walk this earth
So worthy and twisted
The hurt took its toll
Burn my love again
Swaddle me up and tight
With my furnace's shining light
Keep me warm from thoughts that
Suffocate my breath tight
Of shadows that want to
Drown and desert me
In my fatal indolence
This night
