Lantern Sigh

wasted away
no time to kill
or be the owner of things
so swept away
by modern toys
man finds no time to kill, honestly
--
by the light of my lantern sigh, saturnine
I and I
caution, i'm so old
I lean on a shoulder, so low
I trip on shadows of oceans and echoes
solidified, a man alone
lost hearts can fall so low
stripped down
spit out
now all I have is my honesty, honestly
--
chipped this stone
cloaked this face
blessed being this cyclone saved
self-sacrifice, these winds create
drinking as if i'm starved for shame
--
by the light of my lantern sigh, saturnine
I and I
caution, i'm so old
I look for someone to cry to
floating on thoughts of trapdoors and arrows.
criticized, I stand alone
asking, please release these chains
passed down
crashed out
I simply don't have the energy in me
--
crucified
deified
pulled apart so all can see
bleed me
need me
watch me wash away
I need the coldest hearts to start beating again
the ripple through the window warming me
bleed me need me
watch me wash away
I need the coldest hearts to start beating again
the ripple through the window warming me
bleed me
need me
watch me wash away
--
by the light of my lantern sigh, saturnine
I and I
caution, i'm so cold
I look for someone to cling to
and find myself trying to catch my own shadow
solidified, a man alone
lost hearts can fall so low
stripped down
spit out
now all I have is my honesty, honestly
--
honesty, honestly, honesty
