lyrics

(30 May 2015)

so I’m leaving this stage
with another song of emptiness
as if nothing had changed
and I was still the same old mess
when I’m not

don’t sing along this time
don’t claim to understand
all you see in me right now
is an image of yourself
but I won’t stop being who I am

my petals petrify
my roots are starving in the frozen earth
this May will not survive
drawing to its close without a second birth
so who can flourish in the night
and in the shade and in the undergrowth?
I know I can’t
I know I can’t
for I am not the underdog
I am no child of the night
I am no friend to the dark
I crave the light just like the rest of us

there is no hand in the world
whose touch could ever melt this ice again
there are no words to be said
that could restore the shattered faith again
so it’s okay to close the door
when all that’s coming in
are withered autumn leaves carried by the wind
of this unforgiving spring
and the promise of summer
is thrown to the wolves
and the glory of morning
is inherited by fools

it’s okay to close the door on all of them
once and for all
