sitting alone in the walls of my mind
makes me wish to scream aloud
burn the effigy of the past
and wrap the future in a shroud
discordant harmonies,
speak volumes of my memories
of distant years gone by
and only if i could cry
as i ran my hand over today
and smeared the ashes on my face
the crystaline roses crumbled at my fingertips
and i will keep my tears for you
discordant harmonies,
speak volumes of my memories
of distant years gone by
and only if i could cry
you drank the sanguine wine i set before you
and allowed it to lull you into your netherworld
you feel the soft and sticky kisses of your own tears
as they slide down your cheeks, and trickle down your throat
discordant harmonies,
speak volumes of my memories
of distant years gone by
and only if i could cry
weave a daisy chain from the feathers of your broken wings
dance naked in the iridescent light
and tip the bottle to the swollen moon
while others turn away, in their fright
