Listen, it's hard to say

Consequence tied my tongue

Life wasn't made for one

Icons will rise and tank

Pennies in jars of clay

Heaviest fragile beast

Further ahead than me

I've got so far to go

So give my soul some peace

Suffer what it means

On some other plane

Wisdom left me blind

With nothing I could teach

The substance of my mind

The gates of shame and spite

Open to me

Over the side toss coins

Parisian fountain street

Wishes and lies compete

Moss on a rolling stone

A rising star in chains

Colder than bars of gold

Hoping the ropes will hold

Why not just let go?

The stakes are not my own

On formentera beach

Why not walk away?

Take a sober stroll

And free my childhood dream

Before my hour is up

Time stamp my release

Today it's over
