I'm going guys
I'm calling it day
Just let me know
If it died in vain
This isn't pain
This isn't heartbreak
This isn't anger
This is just routine
It's so very beautiful
And so very dead
And I'll die with it
But its been a pleasure
You're no friend or foe
You're everything else
Like everyone else
You're so very beautiful
And you're so very dead
And I'll die with it
Something's ahead
Just after you
And since all I do
Is just for you
I need to prepare
I need to embrace
The season
Of godspeeds
To come
It's so very beautiful
And so very dead
And I'll die with it
But its been a pleasure
You're no friend or foe
You're everything else
Like everyone else
You're so very beautiful
And you're so very dead
And I'll die with it
I'm not sure how long
Of a walk this will be
You're looking at me
But I'm not what you see
And I'm not in this moment
And I'll never venture forth
The metalshop behind my ears
The burning tears, the past few years
And you
You make me so happy, but joy isn't love
And at this point I've felt
Everything between treason, good riddance
And a gorgeous disease
The nothingness inside your eyes
Is the same one I feel
As I picture what my future holds
With you somewhere in sight
And your roseless bloom
Inspires me to write down my plight
I've been playing my serenade
Since the evening you came into
And my blood ridden fingertips
Can't find words to describe
And the same cat that took my tongue
Isn't listening now
And the people that you stack on me
Know what I am
And they're pulling you over my head
They're pulling you up from the earth
I can't reach, or call you down
Because the ground I'm buried underneath
Is no place for angels oh
God damn it I've been here before
I know now how this walk will end
We'll reach a drop, a mile high
A flight that you cannot survive
So look at me one more time
Because I'm not there, I'm up ahead
