Poisoned Leaves

A Lament for Love Lost

Poisoned Leaves

I try to find that place I could hold onto

When your smile screamed my name

But I know this road that I somehow now belong to

Has no bright lights without you to guide the way

 

This plane is bound to crash in just a matter of seconds

And all I can do is wish that we were hand in hand

The captain’s flashed the warning and already ejected

He said “f**k this s**t everyone for themselves”

 

And it seems so hard to find comfort in the sadness

But every time I look into the mirror I can’t help but crack a smile

It brings me back to the times that I took for granted

And helps me to focus on these lonely trails ahead

 

Ill find my way just as I did before

But it makes it so much harder to do it all alone

We once were kings and queens in a tired jesters court

But the jury’s been sequestered and the evidence destroyed

 

I thought that our love would burn longer than a bonfire

But sometimes it feels like we were destined to fail

And I try to bribe the gods that we believe in

Offered any barter that they’d greedily accept

 

But I know as time winds down to the minute               

Weaves her spell and leaves you only with a song

And the heart that used to beat with resounding rhythms

Will again sound the fanfare and the peasants will be overjoyed

 

Ill find my way the best that I can

Ill parade ill dance a jig I’ll shake the governors’ hand

As he rallys for position and offers up all the things

That will pass like poison leaves eventually
