Preservation Lyrics
Preservation.
The gnats who'd beleaguered us had been all the wiser-
patient little carpenters trading their time for yours.
We found your body, still warm in the night-
a garden of afterlife abloom behind glass-
a warning signal, a waning nocturne.
Nothing lasts forever.
You were gone in the night
and vanished by morning.
Lined with the pages of history books,
you outlived the clocks,
acting the elder in all that you taught-
to shut stubborn doors
to practice prudence in filling your spaces,
to tell time in temperatures.
Preservation is a tricky thing.
patient little carpenters trading their time for yours.
a garden of afterlife abloom behind glass-
a warning signal, a waning nocturne.
Nothing lasts forever.
You were gone in the night
and vanished by morning.
you outlived the clocks,
acting the elder in all that you taught-
to shut stubborn doors
to practice prudence in filling your spaces,
to tell time in temperatures.
