Splendid Isolation

When all of the swallows pass me by

They still make summer just a memory

You’re still the road where I was led

I think you always were, I think you always were

And so you pound upon the door until you break

As if your will alone could be enough

But your will is a thousand miles away

Here on the giants shoulder

The eye of the endless wave

The light is aglow and you’re alone

I know there’s always be a stowaway

In my head is the burden like a landslide

Purple clover

Moon faced queen

Crimson’s name is legion

If the price is right

Tell me one more time

Like you used to do

Though the shadow is large

Light will show the truth

Who you used to be

When I held your hand

Why did I comply?

If I did not believe

And all it took was all I could make it

So if your memory serves you well

You may remember what you have done

You call on me to talk to them

And later question why I’m gone

Well every plan you’ve had has failed

There is nothing more to say

Your judgements made by someone else

Did their wisdom serve you well?

Absence is fire

Hearts are whitest coal

Embers ghosts that die within

The dream is exploding

Letters never read

Stuck in our night of waiting

Welded in the signs

Carved in bone

Written in the frozen mountain

Pouring from the sky

Clawing at the earth

Everywhere I looked I could see them

Purple clover

Moon faced queen

Crimson’s name is legion

If the price is right
