Life is just a fable
Told through the trails of mayflies
Turning the tables
Turning towards light that shies
Swing until the sunlight
Drips like blood from vampire teeth
Sing songs so bright
Slips from your lips
Lying through your teeth
Where the horizon and god meet
Where you will find me
At twilight until midnight
Speaking underneath starlight
Gazing with my blazing eyelids
Hazy shades of blue and grays in midsummer nights
Middle of the vision shifter
The gift of power
The shift of sands
To lift up our empty hands
Filthy open palms pointed straight towards the sun
Dirty bare feet standing firmly on the earth we so desperately desire to make holy
All over
It was all just a show
For all of the late night party goers
Date night, hardly dare to show up
After all you put me through
You think I would do this for you
Baby eyes, baby cries
Maybe, as time flies by, next time you won’t lie
I hold a grudge against
I paint a yellow fence black
Cry rivers over anthills
Dancing around the working mill
Prancing through daisies
Praying to fairies
To grant me three wishes
Humanity, sanity, and missed chances
All those ugly glances
Cut deep like sharp lances
Knife blade grinding
Life made mindlessly
Minding my own business
Finding nothing
Mark my words
Mark it on your calendars
The end of days is nigh
But we won’t go down without a fight
Although I doubt we’ll outlast the night
