Welcome to the last time
That You can buy my answer with less than a question.
I would sell the hands off my wrists if they weren't so preoccupied

Show me a light that doesn't go out
When the people tire of tending it,
When they go to sleep content.

I thought of writing you a song
In a tired repetition
Of the words I meant to sing you all along
But never did.

For lunar tides and roses

Artist - After the Sirens

Just to sullenly let swing
The best of arbitrary things,

Haven't I been getting up from falling dreams
And slipping on the frozen streams I build my tower...Read Full Lyrics
