SO LONG MY MISERY
So long my misery
I dont need you
You have only caused me grief
Forgive me if I fall asleep
I havent slept in centuries
Daylight lives like a burden for me
So I escape the cynics strewn about the street
Beyond the ruins of my ancestry
Far past the pages of my disbelief
I rose from my most like a ghost from the grave
Sunken in the salty eyes of the wanderer in this place
I was heading through the mist across the golden gate
All of my rebellions fall into the fog and fate
So long my misery
I dont need you
You have only caused me grief
Forgive me if I fall asleep
I havent slept in centuries
Springtime came again and a caress fell
I flew past the numb lipped nuns who never tell
The secrets of the sailors and their seven year spell
I will not fall nor will my wings ever meld
If I could I would wash all these moons away
I would surround your room with sentiments of grace
I would paint your portrait over everything mundane
More colorful than Easter Sunday
So long my misery
I dont need you
You have only caused me grief
Forgive me if I fall asleep
I havent slept in centuries
Put me on a boat and leave my inhibitions at bay
My mind is spinning but I havent much to say
I was running through the canyons towards the echo of your name
You were laughing at me like the sun laughs at a flame
Put me on a page in a book of beginnings
Let me scroll through old volumes of ancient teachings
Let me revel in all of these forgotten feelings
Lay me with the retched in the arms of my queen
So long my misery
I dont need you
You have only caused me grief
Forgive me if I fall asleep
I havent slept in centuries
So long my misery
I dont need you
You have only caused me grief
Forgive me if I fall asleep
I havent slept in centuries
Daylight lives like a burden for me
So I escape the cynics strewn about the street
Beyond the ruins of my ancestry
Far past the pages of my disbelief
I rose from my most like a ghost from the grave
Sunken in the salty eyes of the wanderer in this place
I was heading through the mist across the golden gate
All of my rebellions fall into the fog and fate
So long my misery
I dont need you
You have only caused me grief
Forgive me if I fall asleep
I havent slept in centuries
Springtime came again and a caress fell
I flew past the numb lipped nuns who never tell
The secrets of the sailors and their seven year spell
I will not fall nor will my wings ever meld
