Chai dreams
chai dreams of grainy and silver demise
eyes that will wander and stray to the skies
I've followed and given more than you could take
now all I've accomplished is all you'd forsake
adrift - I am floating - on Neptune's soft sigh
a rampage to nowhere, to nowhere a lie
the broken tell stories of loss and despair
the world never listens, too caught up to care
we build tranquil assumptions from inside this void
which - long past forgotten - was seized and destroyed
so tomorrow let's whisper of snow and of sin
yet I will not wear this abstraction of skin
three knives on the table, four hearts on the wall
the further I journey, the farther I fall
you hand me five clovers with the joker's last laugh
beheades in August, deprived of his staff
Tempest, my Tantrum, to blossom in June
my swirl is too late yet my passion's too soon
and in silent congression these gallows have tried
to punish the Weepers who've wept by my side
eyes that will wander and stray to the skies
I've followed and given more than you could take
now all I've accomplished is all you'd forsake
adrift - I am floating - on Neptune's soft sigh
a rampage to nowhere, to nowhere a lie
the broken tell stories of loss and despair
the world never listens, too caught up to care
we build tranquil assumptions from inside this void
which - long past forgotten - was seized and destroyed
so tomorrow let's whisper of snow and of sin
yet I will not wear this abstraction of skin
three knives on the table, four hearts on the wall
the further I journey, the farther I fall
you hand me five clovers with the joker's last laugh
beheades in August, deprived of his staff
Tempest, my Tantrum, to blossom in June
my swirl is too late yet my passion's too soon
and in silent congression these gallows have tried
to punish the Weepers who've wept by my side
